SRINAGAR, May 1: Former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil today in a statement has condemned BJP top brass for continuing its rhetoric on situation in Kashmir and asked it to initiate dialogue before it is too late for them to restore peace and political stability in the State.
He said that BJP President Amit Shah’s saying focus on Jammu and Ladakh and keep Kashmir isolated and no dialogue with separatists are just illusions and such statements can’t restore calm in Kashmir but further complicate the already complicated situation in the State.
Dialogue with mainstream parties has not yielded any result in past and not will yield any result in future because mainstream political parties have always befooled people by saying one thing in power and another thing when out of power just to grab power. Their relevance is day by day diminishing. Vakil asked the BJP President to draw lessons from 7% turn out in by-elections in Srinagar Parliamentary constituency and take immediate measures for addressing alienation of people through a broad based dialogue with all stake holders in the State.
He said that BJP President Amit Shah saying that BJP would form next Government on its own with full majority in Jammu and Ladakh and some bonus seats in Kashmir is BJP top leader’s day dreaming. Vakil asked the BJP Chief to think about regional and religious bonding but not regional and religious divides in Jammu and Kashmir State which is a big model of regional and religious harmony in entire South Asia.
Vakil called upon the Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to look at Kashmir through the prism of of law and order complications and announce a road map for political outreach in Kashmir and warned that any delay in dialogue is fraught with dangerous consequences.
