Ridiculing chief minister Mehbooba Mufti’s claim that Modi government would follow Vajpayee’s policy on Jammu and Kashmir, MLA Langate, Er Rasheed Wednesday said that Kashmiris have ‘rejected’ Vajpayee’s policy in Kashmir and those praising Vajpayee are trying to ‘mislead’ none but themselves.
As per a statement, Er Rasheed while addressing a public meeting at Sochalyari, Handwara has asked Mehbooba Mufti and others who are talking much about Vajpayee’s Kashmir policy to explain what was Vajpayee’s Kashmir formula.
Er Rasheed said, “Neither was Vajpayee in favour of UN resolutions nor has he shown willingness to leave entire J and K as an independent state. His only mission was to engage Kashmiris into futile talks and get them tired and pitch them against each other by creating confusions and doubts. There is nothing special in Vajpayee’s Kashmir mission except adding to the confusion. Mehbooba Mufti while talking much about Vajpayee’s Kashmir mission is hiding her failures.”
“If New Delhi is really sincere to initiate dialogue process it must end all operations against militant outfits and declare a unilateral ceasefire before offering unconditional talks to militant leadership who are the real custodians of huge sacrifices.” And, “There is no fun to indulge into formal talks whatsoever, unless government of India doesn’t reveal what it has to offer to Kashmiris.”
While backing for right to self determination, Er Rasheed has asked Mehbooba Mufti not to make ‘illogical’ claims.
