Condemning the killing of youths in police firing in Jammu and Kashmir's Sopore town, the state unit of CPI-M today demanded the government to take strict action against those responsible for the incidents.

"It is imperative that the central and state authorities take firm and visible action against those responsible for such acts. Any delay will only compound the uncertainty further," the party said in a resolution adopted at the concluding two-day session of the state committee here.

The statement came in the wake of a youth who was killed yesterday after CRPF personnel fired rubber bullets on a stone-pelting mob that had defied curfew in Sopore, two days after a similar incident left two civilians dead.

"These killings have justifiably aroused anger throughout the state... There is no excuse for such atrocities. Despite repeated assurances by the central and state governments of zero tolerance towards human rights violations, the fact remains that little has been done to punish those responsible for such heinous crimes," the resolution said.

On Indo-Pak talks, the resolution said, "The Government of India seems half-hearted in pushing forward the composite dialogue between India and Pakistan. It seems quite oblivious to revive the political process by initiating purposeful dialogue with all shades of opinion in the state.
