Jammu:
Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and Peoples' Democratic
Party (PDP) patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed Tuesday underlined the
need to evolve a national consensus to solve the Kashmir problem
"through democratic means".
Addressing a public gathering in Inshan, a mountainous area in
Kishtwar district about 250 km from here, Mufti said dialogue was
the only way to solve all problems peacefully.
"Political parties of the country, including the ruling UPA
(United Progressive Alliance) and other opposition groups, have to
realise that solution of Kashmir problem is must for the lasting
peace in this region", he said.
"It is the duty of all parties to lend support to any fresh
initiative to solve this problem," he said.
Mufti said internal dimension of the Kashmir problem would be
solved by addressing aspirations of all regions and sub-regions.
He said there was also a need for the parties across the political
spectrum to evolve a consensus on resolving internal dimension of
the Kashmir problem.
Referring to the steps taken by then Prime Minister Atal Bihari
Vajpayee in 2003 during his visit to Kashmir, Mufti said: "It had
come against a grim and potentially disastrous scenario as the two
nuclear powers (India and Pakistan) were in an eyeball-to-eyeball
position following the attack on the parliament."
He highlighted the role played by his party in restoring peace in
the region.
"Our party had convinced successive governments in Delhi to
initiate some bold confidence building measures to restore lasting
peace in this region," Mufti said, adding that the opening of
cross points on the Line of Control was an outcome of the party's
reconciliatory policies.
