SRINAGAR, Oct 25: Former Union Minister and veteran Congress leader Prof Saifuddin Soz has said that the Centre should give up its policy of repression in Kashmir and initiate a purposeful political dialogue.
In Press statement here today Soz said, “NC leader and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has not minced any word when he described the recent security scenario in the State in which, apart from armed youth, it is the innocent civilians who get killed on a daily basis. All this has deepened the anger in Kashmir.”
“It is true that the only way forward seems to be restoration of the internal autonomy to the State. But the basic question is that the epoch-making decisions had flowed from the State’s Constituent Assembly. These decisions caused unnecessary misunderstanding with the Central Govt. One of the reasons that the Central Govt went wrong in several of its decisions, was that ‘the agencies like the IB had been tasked to handle political work in Kashmir,” Soz said.
