SRINAGAR, Nov 3: President, Jammu and Kashmir Bachao Tehreek (JKBT) and former Minister, Abdul Gani Vakil, today said that though appointment of new Interlocutor Dineshwar Sharma for dialogue in J&K was a welcome step but backtrack on promise of Home Minister Rajnath Singh on talks without pre-conditions has shown that Narendra Modi led BJP Government is on the same track which previous Governments used for dealing with the crisis in J&K.
Vakil said that with newly appointed Interlocutor ruling out any talks outside Indian Constitution means that chapter of talks with separatists has been closed. Stating that talks without pre-conditions are pre-requisites for resolving Kashmir issue, Vakil said, “Prime Minister and Home Minister talked to mainstream political parties in past as well but the ground situation did not change so there is no point of holding talks with mainstream without engagement with separatists and Government of Pakistan”.
Addressing a party workers’ convention, which was presided over by party patron, Thakur Gulchain Singh Charakh, Vakil called upon the Central Government to fulfill its promise of holding unconditional talks with separatists and resuming the composite dialogue process with the Government of Pakistan.
Addressing the gathering, Thakur Gulchain Singh Charakh termed the uttering of P Chidambarm as a tool to gain popularity and attention of media. He said that if he was so sincere to people of J&K then he must primarily justify his failure to deliver during his tenure as Union Home Minister and reasons for not offering the same autonomy to people of the J&K so that loss of precious lives could be averted.
Charakh castigated both NC and PDP for exploiting, befooling and cheating innocent people of J&K. He said that these parties forgot and drifted from their so called core ideologies for sake of power and so called Autonomy or Self Rule politics of NC and PDP is nothing but a political gimmick and a tool to enforce regional divide to arrange and manage the alliance of convenience to grab power.
