Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz welcomes political dialogue in Kashmir | Chairman of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq welcomed New Delhi's decision to open political dialogue and hoped that it would show flexibility and accommodation. Talking to reporters here on Wednesday, Farooq
said: " it speaks that there is a greater realisation in Delhi right now, that
they do address and accept the fact that we have to move beyond traditional issues
and we have to move beyond traditional statements, otherwise we have been only
hearing in the last two-three years that Kashmir is an integral part and on those
lines. So I think now we are seeing that people are talking in terms of realities
on the ground." Farooq said there cannot be a military solution to the Kashmir
problem. "I think all the parties - Kashmiris, India, Pakistan slowly and gradually
are realising that we all have to come together. When we talk about Kashmir we
talk about regions, we talk about regional aspirations. While everybody realises
that this problem has to have a political solution, it cannot have a military
solution. Kashmir problem cannot be resolved by military means, either by force
or by suppression," he added. Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on Wednesday
said that Government would follow the policy of quiet diplomacy to find a solution
to the problem in Jammu and Kashmir. Addressing the All India Editors Conference
on Social and Infrastructure here, Chidambaram said: "The Government recognizes
that there are different shades of opinion in the State and will hold consultations
with all sections." "The whole effort would be quiet until the contours of a political
solution to the problem are found. This is essential to take the process forward,"
he added. |
