NEW DELHI: Opposition Congress today asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “win the hearts” of the people of Kashmir, where the situation is turning “too dangerous”.
“I would request your kind indulgence for taking urgent steps to win the hearts of the people of the State and also ensure that the law and order situation is restored at the earliest,” Ghulam Nabi Azad, a former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, said in an open letter to the Prime Minister.
Azad, the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, regretted that there was no recognition of the Kashmir situation at national level.
Making a pitch for “political process” to find a solution to the problem, he reminded the Prime Minister that even in the face of worst provocations past Governments had never abandoned it both on external and internal fronts.
“The initiative taken by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee that Kashmir problem can be solved within the ambit of ‘insaniyat’, Jamhuriyat’ and Kashmiriyat” followed by Delhi-Lahore bus service, was appreciated by one and all,” Azad said. (AGENCIES)
