Adding that on the one hand State Govt is claiming that situation has improved considerable in the valley and on the other hand people are not being allowed to express their freedom of expression and freedom of speech, the Spokesperson termed the gag as anti-people, undemocratic and unethical and asked the Govt to withdraw the notification in the larger interest of democracy.

The Spokesperson emphasized that Govt must take effective measures to restore confidence of the people rather than creating more problems for the people.
