Resolution of Kashmir issue imperative for peace, development: Mehbooba
Bats for dialogue with internal stakeholders, Pakistan
Poonch, Jan 31: Asserting that iron fist policy of union government is bound to prove counterproductive, former Chief Minister and President Peoples Democratic Party Ms Mehbooba Mufti Sunday said that resolution of Kashmir issue was imperative for steering Jammu and Kashmir out of present turmoil and ensure lasting peace and development.
“Peace has to be restored on border, the daily rush to Kashmir graveyards has to end, the bloodshed of our youngsters has to stop and for all this resolution of Kashmir issue was essential”, Ms Mehbooba said while addressing party workers, here today, on the second day of her three day visit to border districts of Rajouri-Poonch.
She was accompanied by General Secretary and former MLC Surinder Choudhary, former legislators Yashpal Sharma, Firdous Tak, MR Qureshi and senior party leaders including Vijay Dogra, Satpal Charak, Rajinder Manhas, Varinder Singh Sonu, Shamim Dar, district president, Shamim Ganai, Advocate Maroof Hussain, Javaid Choudhary, Lala Manzoor, Gurmeet Singh Raja, Zahida Choudhary, Parvaiz Wafa, Aazam Sagar, Najeeb Mughal, Naresh Sharma, Advocate Syed Taj Hussain, Advocate Majid Shah and Rajat Gupta.
She said that Kashmir issue was neither religious nor law and order problem as projected by the ruling Bhartiya Janta Party but it is completely political with its origin in a series of betrayals with people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“The resolution of this issue has to go through the roadmap proposed and implemented by Peoples Democratic Party during its short stints in power. There is no alternate to the Mufti Muhammad Sayeed’s vision of peace with dignity and the agenda of PDP is more relevant today than ever”, she said while advocating for the dialogue with neighbouring country and internal stakeholders especially youth.
