Jammu, Mar 11 (UNI) People's Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti today condemned the killing of two civilians, allegedly by the security forces at Aripal, Tral in Kashmir valley and said it was high time for Centre to respond to the situation.

In a statement issued here today, Ms Mufti said, ''It is the time for the central government to respond to the situation caused by frequent recurrence of such unfortunate incidents.'' ''The continuing bloodshed of innocents has the potential of undoing all the gains of the past years in rebuilding the faith the citizens of J and K in Indian democratic system,'' she warned.

PDP leader said the Central and the State governments must take a serious note of the incidents as the same are taking place at a time when J and K is in the focus of the media and world focus in view of the surfacing of recent incidents of ''kill-for-cash''.

She reiterated her party's demand for withdrawal of Army and revocation of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), and said the incidents involving loss of innocent lives only underscore the urgency to accept these proposals to rebuild people's confidence in the system.
