SRINAGAR, Feb 28: Former MLA from Kashmir region and senior CPI (M) leader Mohd Yousuf Tarigami has urged the Government of India and Pakistan to immediately take steps to end this dangerous stand off by going for de-escalation which is in the best interests of the people of both the countries especially those who live in the Jammu and Kashmir.
” War is never a solution, but diplomatic engagement is. The billions of people living in the subcontinent cannot be put in peril due to this looming conflict. War-mongering and jingoism need to be put an end in both the countries,” he pleaded.
Tarigami said yesterday’s events revealed that conflict and war brings a terrible human toll. In both the countries, Governments, political leaders, media and civil society must act with caution and responsibility. Diplomatic engagement seems the only way out in this current crisis.
He said Pakistan should immediately release Wing Commander Abinandan and hand over him to India.
