HM must talk to Pak: Soz

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Oct 27: Former Union Minister and veteran Congress leader Prof Saifuddin Soz today said that Home Minister Amit Shah should talk to Pakistan and not only Kashmiri youth.
In a press statement here today Soz said, “Home Minister of India is right when he says that he would like to talk to youth in J&K State. But, he is not right when he says that he won’t talk to Pakistan. How can India not talk to Pakistan, when that country happens to be its first neighbour?” Soz asked.
“Prime Minister Modi rightly described this relationship recently to the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Modi had correctly described this relationship in his letter to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan as recently as on March 22, 2021, that as a neighbourly country, India desired cordial relations with the people of Pakistan and for strengthening this relationship, an environment of trust happened to be an imperative. PM Imran Khan’s gesture to PM Modi’s message was in the right direction when he said that the people of Pakistan equally desired peace and cooperation with India. Let us hope that kind of relationship grows by the day,” Soz added.
