India, Pakistan can't live in perpetual hostility: Mehbooba Says Modi govt fails to reach the visionary levels of Vajpayee 8/20/2014 12:18:20 AM Early Times Report Srinagar, Aug 19: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti, today, said India and Pakistan can't live in perpetual hostility and there is no option other than peace in South Asia which can be achieved only through dialogue and reconciliation. Addressing various wayside meetings in Tral constituency in South Kashmir's Pulwama district, she said the PDP having emerged as an authentic voice of peace and reconciliation will use its representative character to press for resumption of dialogue between India and Pakistan and resolution of all problems including Kashmir. Mehbooba said dialogue process can't be held hostage to hawkish voices or unforeseen interruptions. But, it is unfortunate that the Modi government has failed to reach the visionary levels of Atal Bihari Vajpayee who has set a new course for resolving South Asia's endemic problems. "The PDP will carry forward proactively and assertively the political agenda that it had rolled out in 2003 which had impressed the then NDA government under Vajpayee and was later converted into one of the most successful peace initiatives in the region," Mehbooba said. Referring to the abysmal infrastructure conditions in Tral the PDP president said it will be the endeavour of her party to give special focus towards the area once it is voted to power. "Tral has an immense potential in tourism, horticulture, trout farming, agriculture and other allied activities and the PDP will harness it to the optimum levels for the betterment of the area," she added. On the occasion senior party leader Mushtaq Ahmad Shah, MLA and youth leaders Dr Shanti Singh and Mir Anayat were also present on the occasion.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
