ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM!
The Indian Government should not waste its time on futile practices.
The Muslims of Maqbooza Kashmir (designated as Internationally Disputed Areas
of Jammu Kashmir by UN) or the Sikhs of Punjab Khalistan will not accept any
solution other than complete cessation of Indian occupation.
Centre preparing comprehensive policy on Kashmir: Rajnath
Singh
AGENCIES
New Delhi, Sep 28: A comprehensive policy on Kashmir is
being prepared by the NDA government, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on
Sunday."We are preparing a comprehensive policy on Kashmir. We will
announce it soon," he said. Asked whether there is any proposal to appoint
an interlocutor for having dialogue with various stakeholders like those named
for the northeast, Singh said there was no such move."I am not in favour
of appointing interlocutors for Jammu and Kashmir," he said. In a recent
interview with a fortnightly magazine, the Home Minister had said the past
practices of appointing interlocutors for Jammu and Kashmir must be discontinued
as it was non-productive."Now the time has come to have a rethink on
appointing interlocutors. Having said this let me clarify that I am not averse
to talks. But I am also not in favour of non-productive talks which are carried
out by anti-nationals to burnish their own political image in either Jammu and
Kashmir or the Northeast," he was quoted as having said in an interview to
a fortnightly magazine 'Governance Now'.Academician Radha Kumar, journalist
Dileep Padgaonkar and M M Ansari had been interlocutors on Kashmir during UPA
rule.Singh said the level of infiltration into Jammu and Kashmir
has come down to a great extent and security forces were strictly guarding the
International Border and LoC.The Home Minister earlier had asked the Jammu and
Kashmir government to identify "suitable land" for the rehabilitation
of some three lakh Kashmiri Pandits who migrated from the Kashmir Valley in the
early 1990s.The Narendra Modi government has committed itself to the return of
some 62,000 Kashmiri Pandit families with "full dignity" to their
homes in the Valley and has earmarked Rs 500 crore for this in the 2014-15
Union Budget.Singh wrote to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for allocation of
"suitable" land for creating dwelling units for these families under
the government's plan for implementation of the rehabilitation scheme for
migrants.
