SRINAGAR, June 26: President Awami Ittihaad Party (AIP) and MLA Langate, Engineer Abdul Rashid, has termed Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh’s visit to Jammu and Kashmir as a mere “eyewash.”
Addressing a press conference here, Rashid said that Singh’s two-day visit has yield nothing constructive regarding the political issues of Kashmir.
“Instead of offering economic packages to the people of Kashmir, the Prime Minister should have addressed the Kashmir issue”, the MLA said.
“Throughout the visit, the PM didn’t even utter a single word regarding the political issues of the State. It was felt that after Afzal Guru’s execution, PM would accept Kashmir issue as a dispute and talk about the internal dimension of the Kashmir issue,” he said.
