JAMMU, Jan 25: While doubting the intensions of Pakistan, Panun Kashmir (PK) today asked the Government to rethink and recast its Pakistan policy as well as its policy on Jammu and Kashmir before it is too late.
The Government should review its dialogue policy with Pakistan in view of the seizure of huge quantities of narcotics from a truck commissioned to carry trade items from PoK to India across the Line of Control (LoC) recently, said PK chairman, Dr Ajay Chrungoo while talking to reporters along with O N Trisal a senior KP leader, Kuldeep Raina, general secretary PK and others.
He said the seizure of narcotics has raised serious questions about the entire character of cross LoC trade flaunted as one of the successful components of the peace engagement with Pakistan.
The detention of scores of Indian drivers by the Pakistani Government as a response to the arrest of the Pakistani driver, in whose truck brown sugar worth crores was recovered is in fact a very eloquent repudiation of the peace process which India claims it is pursuing with Pakistan, he added.
He said Pakistani Government has so many times in the recent past repudiated and rejected the peace process with India. For the purpose it has used its Parliament, various international foras as well as acts of terrorism inside the State and aggression along the LoC.
Dr Chrungoo said Indian soft approach towards Pakistan is not seen as its commitment to peace but as its weakness to stand up to challenges which endanger peace. PK has no hesitation in saying that policies of GoI on Pakistan and J&K have been counterproductive, he added.
He said PK rejects the claims of GoI that its handling of Pakistan or the affairs of J&K has contributed to peace and national interests as the entire process has jeopardized both peace and the national interests.
