SRINAGAR: Reiterating her Government’s resolve to nudge the two nuclear-armed countries towards starting a meaningful dialogue on J&K, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today said reconciliation between India and Pakistan on Jammu and Kashmir issue will put the State on the trajectory of development and usher the South Asian region in a new era of peace and prosperity.
Speaking on the concluding day of the Budget Session 2016-17 in the State Assembly this afternoon, Ms Mufti said the agenda of her Government is to nudge the two nuclear-armed countries towards starting a meaningful dialogue on Jammu and Kashmir so that the three-decade period of violence in the State comes to an end and the region enters into a new era of peace and prosperity.
“A fruitful dialogue between India and Pakistan took place during my father, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s first tenure as the Chief Minister of J&K in 2002. After the change of the then PDP-led Government, no progress was made and all the measures taken to restore peace in the State were pushed into oblivion.
So the Opposition need not remind us what we have to do,” the Chief Minister said.
Ms Mufti said a meaningful dialogue between India and Pakistan on Jammu and Kashmir is part of ‘Agenda of the Alliance’ of the Coalition Government which is a comprehensive document for resolution of all issues faced by the State. (AGENCIES)
