| Dialogue between India, Pakistan only way to resolve Kashmir issue: Farooq | | |  Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Apr 10: Asserting that Kashmir issue is not a consequence of lack of development rather than a political problem, National Conference (NC) President Dr Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday reiterated that dialogue between India and Pakistan was the only way forward.
The issue has held hostage the development of the sub-continent. Our party has all along maintained that the dialogue between the two nations affords a way out, Dr Abdullah said while addressing a rally at Palpura in Srinagar on Wednesday.
Dr Abdullah, who is the NC candidate for Srinagar Parliamentary constituency, appreciated Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan for his statement wherein he has cast off war as the option between India and Pakistan.
These words are coming from the PM of our neighboring country, a former cricketer. However on this side our PM Modi is still speaking the language of a tea seller, he alleged.
He said NC too vouches for a time bound result oriented dialogue between India and Pakistan.We firmly believe the increased bonhomie between India and Pakistan will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity in our state and in the sub-continent in general, he said.
The issue of J&K has been lingering since 1947, how long shall our people suffer. No sooner we impress for a political solution of our state, we are out rightly tainted as anti national. This has to stop. The government has to see what holds good for the greater good of the country and the sub-continent at large.
The BJP led Government at centre is using Kashmir to leverage its poll prospects elsewhere in the country. The trend should stop as it can have serious ramifications for the country's unity and integrity, he said.
Lashing out at PM Modi, he alleged, During its stint in power, BJP amplified hate, particularly against Muslims. This is not the idea of India which was visualized by the founders of a modern day India nation-state. The founders visualized a secular progressive country shorn of all prejudices and hate. PM Modi has not a speck of affection for the minorities.
The other day when a Hindu police officer lost his life while saving a Muslim man from the mob frenzy of communalists, PM Modi didn't come up with a word of homage and accolade for the slain police officer. Now it is for us to decide if we allow such a person to continue to be in the vanguard of the new government after elections, he said.
Wherever PM Modi goes he parrots Balakot Balakot! But when we seek account of the work and development done by him, he paints us as anti national. He has nothing to say on the achievements of his Government. He is hiding his failures by masquerading behind Balakot Attack.
His Government wasn't able to deliver on a single promise made by them in their election manifesto of 2014 general elections. People are asking where the jobs are. People are still waiting for Rs 15 lakh to be deposited into their accounts.
Every single edible has become dearer. The petrol, diesel prices are soaring high. The Modi led BJP led government is not leaving legacy but a caution for the times to come, he alleged. |
