SRINAGAR: National Conference working president Omar Abdullah today expressed disappointment over the outcome of the All Party Meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying the “refusal” of the Centre to acknowledge the gravity of the situation in Kashmir will flare up the current unrest.
“It is disappointing how the Central Government had turned its focus on the tried, tested and failed formulations of looking at the issue in Kashmir through the prism of Pakistan and radicalisation,” the former Chief Minister said in a statement here.
“The unrest in Kashmir is not because of Pakistan. While suggesting so might be politically expedient and convenient for the Centre, it comes with the unimaginable risk of alienating the people of Kashmir to an irrevocable and irreparable limit. When that limit is breached, no amount of rhetoric or grandstanding will help,” he said.
He expressed dismay at the “refusal” of the Government to acknowledge the gravity of the situation. (AGENCIES)
