SRINAGAR, July 27: President Jammu Kashmir Bachao Tehreek and former minister, Abdul Gani Vakil has stressed upon New Delhi to shun its stubborn attitude and start a result oriented dialogue with Pakistan and Hurriyat.
He said India like an “elder brother” should initiate the process of dialogue so that J&K comes out of this long spell of political morass that has only resulted in bloodshed.
Addressing a party convention at Batasuma Dangiwacha in Baramulla, Vakil said when North Korea and South Korea after 60 years of war mongering can come on the talking table to resolve their issues what stops India and Pakistan to do the same.
He blamed Govt for only beating the drum about dialogue and in reality does nothing concrete about it on the ground.
“They only talk about dialogue but have never seriously initiated a process,” Vakil said.
Terming the dynastic politics a root cause of all the problems J&K has been facing, Vakil said the two families of Muftis and Abdullahs for the greed of power have thrown state into turbulent times and it is a main reason behind lingering Kashmir issue.
“These families never wanted resolution of Kashmir for the greed of power. It is the time for all of us to stand, unite and throw these families out of power once for all. Only then we can solve all our small and big issues,” he said.
He said the NC, PDP with Congress eroded Article 370 and reduced it to nothing.
“The Congress brought down the offices of Sadr-e-Riyasat and Prime Minister of J&K by changing their nomenclature. Likewise, PDP and NC played a key role in implementing some laws of Indian union in Kashmir, GST being the latest, by further eroding Article 370, which otherwise gives a special status to Kashmir.
The party convention later passed several resolutions. The first resolution demanded compensation for the orchardists who have suffered losses due to heavy rains and hailstorm, in second they demanded release of all political prisoners lodged in different jails in and outside state and in third they sought regularization of all the daily-wagers working in different departments.
