JAMMU : Facing questions over Prime Minister’s silence on Pakistan during his Srinagar rally last week, Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said Narendra Modi is not under “any pressure” to talk about it even as he observed that reconciliation with the neighbour is “my dream”.
Sayeed said reconciliation with Pakistan is on the agenda of the ruling PDP-BJP alliance of Jammu and Kashmir and that he will pursue it with Modi as it is important for ushering in peace in the militancy-hit State.
“Modi is not under any pressure to talk about Pakistan,” the PDP leader said at a press conference here when asked why he termed the Prime Minister’s rally in Srinagar on November 7 as “historic” even though he did not talk about reconciliation with Pakistan.
“It (reconciliation with Pakistan) is there. I have high hope on that. (But) why should we make Prime Minister say everything like that (talk about reconciliation with Pakistan)? Why should he say that? He is not under pressure to say that,” Mufti said while replying to a volley of questions on the Prime Minister’s rally in Srinagar. (AGENCIES)
