The Jammu administration emphasised that the “land revocation order has hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindus of the State... the agitation has assumed the dimension of a mass movement... manifestation of perceived discrimination with the Jammu region for the last 60 years”. The Jammu administration stressed that “there is a very urgent need to find some solution to the vexed issue which will be acceptable to the people of both the regions”. The Kashmir administration, however, prioritised the need to end “disruption of the national highway” and “safe passage for merchandise and transporters” to the Valley. It said the protests were “spontaneous” and people did not “follow the detailed programme given by the Hurriyat-sponsored Action Committee against Land Transfer”.
