NEW DELHI (AFP) - Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh appealed Tuesday to Kashmiris 'to give peace a cha-nce after almost daily anti-India street protests that have claimed at least 50 lives since June. I am convinced the only way forward in Jammu and Kashmir is along the path of dialogue and reconciliation, Manmohan Singh said in a televised address to an all-party meeting called in New Delhi to discuss the restive region. I appeal to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to give peace a chance. The appeal was the first from the Indian premier since violence brought life to a standstill in Occupied Kashmirs towns and cities after a teenage student was killed by a police teargas shell on June 11. At least 50 people - mostly young men or teenagers - have died in the violence, most of them as a result of Indian police firing, in the deadliest spate of protests to shake Valley for two years. The prime ministers call came as Indian security forces continued to enforce a strict curfew in most parts of Srinagar, to prevent protests against New Delhis rule.
