SRINAGAR, July 15: Veteran Congress leader and former Union Minister Prof Saifuddin Soz has said that move of Govt of India to consult ‘National Opposition’ on the issue of China is purely democratic and laudable.
In a press statement here today, Prof Soz, former PCC chief said, “ Govt of India has decided to consult the National Opposition political parties on the situation of border with China, which is really a democratic way of building a consensus on a problem related to an external situation.
Soz said the internal situation that is Kashmir problem, with an external dimension deserves more attention or, at least, similar attention.
One wonders why the Govt of India doesn’t convene a meeting with the National Opposition urgently before organizing a decisive response to Kashmir unrest.
“The Home Minister’s recent response to Kashmir’s spontaneous expression of its ethos of Kashmiriyat by condemning out rightly the crime committed by certain marauders against the Amarnath Yatris, was a realization of the fact of life in Kashmir,” Soz said.
He further said that the Govt of India would be well advised to initiate a dialogue process in Kashmir with all the stakeholders including the separatists.
