Constructive dialogue can pitch Kashmir resolution: Waza

Srinagar, March 19, 2014

Jammu and Kashmir People’s League Chairman, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza today said that a constructive dialogue between three parties involved in Kashmir conflict-Kashmiris, India and Pakistan will pave a way for peaceful settlement of Kashmir dispute.

Addressing party meeting in Kulgam Waza, who was accompanied by Party vice Chairman Nazir Ahmad Khan,  spokesperson Imtiyaz Ahmad Reshi, political adviser Jafffer Kashmiri, Shabir Ahmad said that Kashmiris are peace loving people and are part of global culture. “It’s the reason the people of Jammu and Kashmir who have rendered unparallel sacrifices wants the peaceful resolution of Kashmir issue.” Waza said, adding international community is bound to show seriousness for its resolution which can guarantee peace in South Asian.

Castigating upon state government human rights violations by the Indian security forces in all fours of Kashmir to which killing 17 years old Shafat Ahmad in Naaidkhai is the recent example. He said that Indian security forces have been let ‘trigger happy’ by the political authorities of New Delhi through the draconian laws like AFSPA and PSA. This is has been the bounden demand of naïve Kashmiris that the probe should be carried for the killing of innocent people in Jammu Kashmir by international organizations like Asia Watch, amnesty international and other such like bodies under the aegis of United Nations. Waza rejected the probe offered by state government and termed it just an eyewash.

Waza said that people’s league has never been against dialogue but it should be meaningful result oriented with the element of sincerity to focus on peacemaking rather than peacekeeping without any polemics or procrastination. He said that after 1989 both the indo-Pak countries have accumulated Nuclear weapons, so both the countries involved in conflict can gave birth to a nuclear war if Kashmir issue remains unresolved.

He appealed international community to play its role in Kashmir resolution if they want peace to prevail in the region.
