| LC adopts resolution on resumption of Indo-Pak dialogue | | | Mustansir
Srinagar, Aug 28: The Legislative Council of the bicameral legislature of the state today adopted a resolution urging upon the Centre to resume the process of Indo-Pak dialogue to ensure peace and stability in the sub-continent.
"The House resolves that the state government must urge the Union government to resume process of Indo-Pak dialogue to ensure peace and stability in the sub-continent in general and state of Jammu and Kashmir in particular," the resolution moved by ruling NC legislator, Devinder Rana said.
The resolution was supported Congress, PDP and NPP members also. The House chaired by its chairman, Amrit Malhotra resolved that the state government should urge the Centre to take effective steps for prevention of firing on Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB) and take measures for rehabilitating the victims.
Two amendments were withdrawn after members of ruling NC and PDP said they defeated the spirit of the resolution.
An amendment moved by the lone National Panthers Party (NPP) legislator Syed Rafiq Shah was dropped as he staged a walk-out from the House over not allowing discussion on the resolution. Speaking in support of the resolution, NC's Khalid Najeeb Suharwardi said, "Jammu and Kashmir seems to be a football. Sometimes India plays with it and sometimes Pakistan.
"There is a match-fixing between the two nations and this firing and no to talks is part of that. Today Pakistan is helping India and tomorrow India would reciprocate." PDP's Naeem Akhtar alleged that the dialogue has become a "tug of war" between BJP and Congress, which "use the issue for their own electoral benefits". "PDP thinks that Kashmiris must be seen as the primary stakeholders to peace and we are not ready for war," Akhtar said. Earlier, the resolution had been the cause of massive ruckus inside the state assembly. Devender Rana of the ruling National Conference (NC), who intended to table the resolution, was allowed by the chairman to speak on the resolution. But members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party stood on their seats, asserting that sufficient time had not been given to them to study the resolution. The move was also opposed by NC leader Shahnaz Ganai, who said Rana had been allowed to table the resolution while her calling attention motion on connected issues had been ignored. |
