SRINAGAR, Aug 14: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Sunday asked separatist leaders to join in a "positive manner" the process for finding a lasting solution to political issues in the state.
"Under the changed political scenario in the sub-continent, you have to render your role in a positive manner and be associated with the strategy of peaceful resolution of issues," Omar, referring to the separatists, said in his Independence Day message from Doordarshan and Radio Kashmir, Srinagar to be telecast, broadcast on 15th August,
Asserting that his government would continue its efforts to facilitate consistent internal and external dialogue processes, he said endeavours made by the government during the last two-and-a-half years had yielded encouraging results.
"Talks between India and Pakistan have resumed and the internal dialogue process is also moving ahead," he said appealing the separatist leaders to be part of the process of finding solution to political issues of Jammu and Kashmir transcending the policy of confrontation.
Omar expressed confidence that the ties between India and Pakistan would improve further and all issues confronting the two nations would be addressed in a peaceful and amicable atmosphere. "My government is endeavouring to help strengthening Jammu and Kashmir-centric CBMs (confidence building measures) put in place by the two countries. We are vehemently advocating more CBMs and new initiatives for wider and closer cross border relationship," he said.
Chief Minister said his government is stressing on converting present cross-LoC barter trade into a real business supported by banking and communication facilities. He said that as promised, his government moved ahead to address development and political issues simultaneously.
"I have stated as Chief Minister and before taking over the chair of power that development issues cannot wait political resolution of political problems. We have to deal with the two aspects separately and concurrently," he said.
“I am not that Chief Minister who will forget the basic political issues while sitting on the chair. I am also not of that grain who would shield the culprits of human rights violation nor would I hide the facts. My position and actions itself vindicate my firm commitment for zero tolerance against human rights violation”, he said assuring severe punishment to violators of human rights.
