Srinagar, July 10 (UNI) CPI(M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami today said delay in implementing recommendations of the working groups had resulted in further alienation of the people and an opportunity to those who never want peace to return in Jammu and Kashmir.

Addressing a public meeting at Nagabal in Shopian district of south Kashmir, he said four of the five working groups constituted by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the second round-table conference here last year and adopted at the third such conclave in New Delhi this year had submitted their recommendations.

Mr Tarigami said certain sections of the people in the state had entertained hopes that implementation of the recommendations could prove to be a step toward addressing the burning issues, which could ultimately lead to providing solution to these problems.

He regretted that the Centre and the state governments were, once again, found wanting in restoring the trust and confidence among the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

The CPI(M) leader said this could lead to further alienation and widening of gulf between the people and the rulers and asked the Centre and the state government to implement these recommendations immediately, sincerely and seriously.

He expressed deep anguish and grief over the declining pace of peace and dialogue process between India and Pakistan during the past few months, which had thrown cold water over the hopes and aspirations of the people of the valley.

A refreshing movement for the settlement of issues through debate and dialogue, in a peaceful setting, seemed to have stopped all of a sudden, which had given rise to suspicions and doubts among the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he added.

He asked both the countries to provide a momentum to the peace process by taking confidence-building measures as this was the mandate of the people of the sub-continent, including the ''suffering and unfortunate'' masses of Jammu and Kashmir.
