SRINAGAR: The National Conference(NC) leader Farooq Abdullah today said the Centre cannot resolve Kashmir issue unilaterally and there was a need to engage all stake-holders, including the separatists.
“I want to remind Home Minister Rajnath Singh that the issues in Kashmir cannot be resolved unilaterally by New Delhi. Putting Hurriyat leaders under house arrest or under detention will precipitate the already fragile situation rather than solving anything,” Abdullah said.
He claimed that the separatists were as usual on their way to Pakistan Embassy in New Delhi to attend the Pakistan Day celebrations but the action of the Government to put them behind bars will “compound the stalemate in Kashmir”.
Addressing a joint election meeting of his party and ally Congress in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district, Abdullah also targeted rival PDP, claiming was “unleashing an unprecedented crackdown on separatist leaders at the behest of its masters in New Delhi”. (AGENCIES)
