SRINAGAR, Mar 5: Former PCC president Prof Saifuddin Soz has regretted that one of the senior most Ministers of Modi Govt, Arun Jaitley, had nothing to say on what is happening in J&K State, especially in Kashmir, except that, in his opinion, it is difficult to govern J&K State.
“It is a pity that one of the senior most members of Modi Govt had no comment on the turmoil in Kashmir or the ‘Social Commotion’ in Kathua district,” Soz said.
“It is so lamentable that Jaitley considers the situation in J&K State as a law and order problem. What kind of advice will an educated man like Arun Jaitley give to PM Modi, if he doesn’t admit that the situation in Kashmir constitutes a political dispute to be resolved politically,” he added.
Soz said on the other side of the spectrum, one after the other Army Commanders have suggested to Govt that the dialogue on New Delhi-Srinagar/Jammu axis and New Delhi-Islamabad axis happens to be the most urgent need of the hour. The Army, by and large has started realizing that there is a limit to killings which have become a routine in Kashmir.
” My conviction is that those of PM’s colleagues, who want to treat Kashmir as a law and order problem, will not serve any good purpose for him,” Soz maintained.
