NEW DELHI: The Congress today distanced itself from its leader Mani Shankar Aiyar’s meeting with Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, saying it never recognised those who are “unelectable and unrepresentative”.
It also accused the prime minister of not coming out with a clear policy on Kashmir and asked if the government had any roadmap for dialogue to restore peace in the Valley.
AICC senior spokesperson Anand Sharma criticised the releasing of videos of the Army’s punitive action against Pakistani posts across LoC and said there was no clear plan of this Government on Pakistan either.
The truth must come out as to what the Government is proposing to do, he said, adding that the Centre has been “opaque” on the issue.
Seeking to evade questions on Aiyar-Mirwaiz meeting, which he called an action by an “individual”, Sharma said, “There are enough leaders of BJP who are meeting separatists and the prime minister is silent.” (AGENCIES)
