| Revive Kashmir resolution process, engage all stakeholders: Mufti | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Aug 4 : Calling upon the country's political leadership especially the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make a renewed beginning towards resolution of Kashmir issue, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed there is a need to engage all the stakeholders both on internal and external fronts.
Interacting with people during his tour to different parts in south Kashmir Anantnag today, Mr Sayeed expressed the hope that armed with a clear mandate, the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre would revive the peace and resolution process not only within Kashmir but with Pakistan as well to ensure durable peace and stability in the South Asian region.
"I am optimistic that the new government at the Centre will pick up and carry forward the resolution process both on internal and external fronts which was pioneered by Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2003 and taken onward by Dr Manmohan Singh," he said. "I hope the new government, under the leadership of Modi, will take tangible measures, by involving all the stakeholders, to address the causes of alienation and trust deficit in Kashmir and work towards finding a long-lasting solution to the problem plaguing the region for the past more than six decades." He said while PDP would continue to act as a facilitator for resolving the Kashmir issue and the issues confronting Jammu and Kashmir, the party would carry forward its agenda of political resolution, economic development, good governance, justice and merit, foundations for which it had laid in its first brief tenure in 2002. "We hope people would judge us on our performance during our brief stint in the government, in opposition and on the basis of our political, economic and developmental agenda and give us a clear mandate in the Assembly elections," he said and added," our voice will be heard with respect and reason not only in New Delhi but all across the country and beyond if PDP is given a clear mandate." |
