SRINAGAR, Feb 17: Former minister and veteran Congress leader, Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz today said that ‘J&K crisis’ could best be resolved through dialogue within the frame-work of Indian Constitution.
In a press statement here today Soz said, “Senior BJP ideologue Lal Krishna Advani had once told me in the Parliament that anything was possible within the four corners of the Constitution of India. Advani was so sure then that Kashmir was a problem and its final solution could be envisaged within the Constitution of India,” Soz revealed.
Referring to the voices being raised in Kashmir, Soz maintained that the `crisis’ could best be resolved within the Constitution of India. But, the Govt of India doesn’t show any sign of settling the issue through ‘discussion and dialogue’.
“As critics of the Central Govt have explained, the Govt has found a comfortable tool of dealing with anybody in Kashmir by imposing the PSA (Public Safety Act).The latest victim of this infamous Act is Shah Faisal, who had barely started activities in his recently instituted party – J&K People’s Movement,” he added.
“It is so tragic that the entire ‘mainstream leadership’ is either in jail or under house arrest. For the sake of future of India’s democracy, country’s opposition parties including INC should have taken notice of the current political scenario in Kashmir,” Soz added.
He said the National oppposition parties have fallen to extremely bad times. “By any standards, it is a bad omen for the future of Indian democracy,” Soz regretted.
