| Shall cooperate if Govt followed Vajpayee's 'Insaniyat' Policy: Mirwaiz to Delhi | | Hurriyat exhibits some flexibility | | Bashir Assad
SRINAGAR, Nov 6: Hurriyat Conference exhibited rare signs of manageability today when chairman Mirwaiz Molvi Mohammad Umar Farooq today said that they were ready to cooperate with the Government of India if it followed Vajpayee's 'Insaniyat Policy'. "Let the Government of India follow Vajpayee initiative on Kashmir, Hurriyat is ready to cooperate with it," Mirwaiz told reporters on the sidelines of a seminar at Raj Bagh Hurriyat headquarters.
He said that Election is a non-issue for us. "Our focus is on the resolution of Kashmir issue and we don't believe that elections be a substitute to Kashmir solution. Even the parties who contest polls believe that elections won't be a substitute to Kashmir issue. We had been saying that Kashmir is not an administrative issue and 'Change of Guard' could have on the issue," he said.
Terming 2014 as a crucial year, Mirwaiz said that, "we want a solution to the Kashmir issue. We want a solution that takes into account the views and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The time has come for the governments of India and Pakistan to make a new beginning and formulate a way to resolve the crisis in Kashmir in a friendly and amicable manner, keeping in mind the wishes and hopes of the people."
While replying to a question, Mirwaiz said that it is premature to comment on election boycott right now. "Hurriyat will sit and decide on the issue once election dates and schedules are declared. So far those parties who will contest these elections are not making any preparation so why should we bother about this issue at this time," he said adding that elections can't change the face of Kashmir issue.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said that Hurriyat would soon meet to decide how the amalgam would reach out to people of all the three regions. "We want to reach out to the people of all the three regions. Hurriyat wants to take them on board, so that Kashmir issue could be resolved amicably," he said. |
