BJP looking at J&K through security prism: NC

Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, Sept 27: National Conference today expressed shock and disappointment over the conspicuous omission of J&K centric peace initiatives in the political resolution passed recently at BJP National Executive meeting in New Delhi.
Reiterating that dialogue is the only way forward to address political issues of Jammu and Kashmir, JKNC Chief Spokes-person Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi said, “It was surprising to see no mention of all the positive talks on J&K by PM Narendra Modi and the Home Minister Rajnath Singh in the resolution.
He said that just a week back, Home Minister had told that ‘initiative has begun’ and the Centre is ‘moving forward’, adding that they (NC) were looking forward for the BJP to endorse this and that the said executive meeting would unanimously endorse the PM’s message on August 15 from the ramparts of Red Fort, however, unfortunately that didn’t happen.
Reacting to BJPs political resolution, NC Chief Spokesperson said, “Why has the party gone silent on the assurances made by the PM himself? It seems now that what he said was just rhetoric and there was no conviction. The resolution clearly points towards BJPs aggressive approach in handling the State and its affairs. This, to say the least, is a complete U-turn on J&K.”
“There is little to no mention of five Cs, compassion, communication, co-existence, confidence-building and consistency that the Home Minister talked about in the said political resolution. This inevitably will add to PDP-BJP Government’s continuous failure in governing the State and will go a long way in increasing alienation among the people of the State,” the NC Chief Spokesperson added.
The Spokesperson said every single promise made by PDP and BJP in its ‘Agenda of the Alliance’ has been compromised with to ensure that both parties continue to enjoy power, come what may.
Ruhullah reiterated that National Conference will continue to espouse the path of dialogue and reconciliation wherein all the stakeholders need to sit together and try to evolve a consensus which would guarantee the rights and dignity to the people of J&K.
