Srinagar, August 23: Calling for strict “no firing policy” to end “brutal killings”, CPI (M) Monday asked New Delhi to look at Kashmir as “political issue” rather than “a law and order problem.”
“The Central Government should stop treating Kashmir as a law and order problem which can be resolved through administrative measures,” CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat told reporters here.
“Kashmir is a political issue and avoiding it will not resolve it.
We urge the Centre to initiate political a sustained political dialogue with all sections in the Jammu and Kashmir to eventually reach a political settlement,” Karat added.
He termed as ‘unfortunate’ the failure of United Progressive Alliance—II to initiate dialogue with all shades of opinion while as he asserted that UPA was “absolutely clueless” on procedure about the initiation of the dialogue.
“The CPI (M) has been consistently advocating the need for a sustained political dialogue with all sections in the State to eventually reach a political settlement.
It is unfortunate that the UPA II government has totally failed to pursue this path.”
Karat, who said to have met people from various walks of life for collecting views on “serious situation” prevailing in Kashmir, demanded an ‘open-ended dialogue sans preconditions.
