| Consensus needed for resolution of Kashmir issue: Radha | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, June 16 (KNS): One of the three interlocutors appointed by New Delhi on Jammu and Kashmir, Radha Kumar, Thursday, said that there was need for consensus among stakeholders if the Kashmir issue had to be resolved.
“For any permanent and lasting political settlement you need large public acceptance. If there is no acceptance, there can be no solution.
There can be no solution until major stakeholder in J&K and India arrive at an agreement on what we mean by consensus. Then armed groups will have to agree on it,” Radha told reporter outside Sri Pratap College where she had gone to interact with students.
“We are only at beginning of building consensus. We have only scratched the surface and have made wide range of talks with different shades of opinions. This was first round and now we are moving to second round where we will discuss whether stakeholders are willing to agree on and what they aren’t willing to agree on,” she added.
She said that interlocutors were in a process of building a setup where final agreement can be reached. “We have to see how we can narrow the area of differences and arrive at consensus. But there have been some areas of consensus and we are working on those,” she added.
Radha said that she was puzzled she recently heard that noted human rights activist, Gautam Navlakha had not been allowed to enter the state. “When I will go back to Delhi I’ll take up this issue,” she said.
Asked why interlocutors delayed submission of there final report to Union Home Ministry, Radha said, “We have not delayed it. It will be submitted when our term ends. But we have not been told when our term will end.”
“We aren’t going to prepare another piece of paper full of recommendations,” she added. Pertinelty media wasn’t allowed to enter SP College during Radha’s interaction with students. Reports said some of the student raised anti India and pro-freedom slogans when Radha was in the college campus.
