SRINAGAR: India’s relation with Pakistan has a direct bearing on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir and the disruption in dialogue between the two countries and with the people of the State has resulted in alienation here, former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti said on Thursday.
“J-K has both internal as well as external dimensions. Relations with Pakistan have a direct bearing on the situation in the State and times have exemplified that whenever the relations between India and Pakistan were good, people here enjoyed an era of peace, development and dialogue in the State,” Mehbooba said while interacting with workers from Kupwara and Iddgah Assembly constituencies.
The PDP president said while good governance restores the confidence of people, all efforts towards peace get wasted in the absence of dialogue and engagement. (AGENCIES)
