Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, Sept 13: President Jammu and Kashmir Bachao Tehreek and former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil today lauded the mainstream parties for poll boycott, but at the same time asked the regional parties to hold talks with Prime Minister over the lingering Kashmir issue and its genesis.
In a statement issued here, Vakil said it is a good step that the major regional parties like NC and PDP have decided to go for the election boycott, which is the need of hour, but at the same time, they should talk about the relationship of Kashmir and New Delhi.
He also expressed his surprise over the stand of Farooq Abdullah saying that he has always changed his colours with time. “He changes colours like a chameleon. So, he is someone who should never be trusted,” Vakil said.
He also expressed his concern over the functioning of the Government saying that the economic breakdown in Kashmir has taken a toll on the overall human index in the State.
Vakil said the main two sectors, tourism and Fruit industry are completely destroyed and the people involved in it have suffered huge losses.
Vakil said that the Governor Satya Pal Malik should convene All Party Meeting to discuss threadbare all the cons and development issues of the state and take all parties in confidence before making any crucial decisions.
