| Interlocutors' report ignored historical background of Kashmir issue : ANC | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Apr 17: Awami National Conference (ANC) has expressed dismay over ignoring the events and historical background of the Kashmir issue in the Interlocutors' report.
In a statement President ANC Begum Khalida Shah said that though the report submitted by the interlocutors has not been made public, but different sources have divulged that the interlocutors have ignored the historical aspect of Kashmir issue and have instead hovered around 1952, 1953 events and opened fresh wounds that followed the events of 1953.
She said that on 15th of Aug1947, when the Indian Subcontinent was divided the National Conference leadership was in jail in pursuit of Quit Kashmir.
Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah was released on September 29, 1947. The Interlocutors should go through the Delhi Agreement of 1952 and then take into cognizance the public outcry that followed the unfortunate event of August 9, 1953 its ramifications and introduction of different laws that went contrary to the spirit of Delhi Agreement of 1952.
We fail to understand why the Interlocutors have chosen to hover around the events of 1952 and 1953, after wasting enormous time and money.
She further said that the report is against the restoration of pre 53 position and the Interlocutors have unknowingly opposed Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, who ordained this position amidst the people of the State in Historical Lal Chowk. Begum Khalida Shah further said that if the Politicians of the Coalition Government of Congress, National Conference or even opposition PDP have any realization of the destruction that has befallen the State, they should break their silence and unite for a long lasting peaceful solution of the Kashmir issue that satisfies the aspirations of all the sections and regions of the State. Mere force and coercion cannot bring peace and win over the people. She welcomed the ongoing peace efforts being undertaken by India and Pakistan. |
