New Delhi: CPI general secretary D Raja on Sunday said the central government should take people and political parties of Jammu and Kashmir into confidence in the wake of additional deployed of security forces in the valley.

"It is a serious thing. However, the government should take people and political parties in Jammu and Kashmir into confidence. There is a trust deficit between the people and the political parties which should be overcome," CPI leader said.

"National security is of paramount importance for everybody. People have apprehensions of whatever the Centre is doing in Kashmir valley. The centre should take meaningful steps to reach out to the people and political parties in Jammu and Kashmir," he added.
