The PDP Chief Spokesman said that the Prime Minister using the words “We will not only try to heal wounds and resolve problems, but also be your partner as you restore your pride and prestige” was a ray of hope for the Kashmiris and impressed upon the Govt of India to adopt a similar approach for Kashmir.
Dr. Beg appealed to the Govt of India to engage with all stake holders in Kashmir with a similar approach, respecting their sentiments, culture and history and engaging them in a sustained dialogue with the utmost dignity.
He also added that the ‘Four Point Formula’ arrived at during the Vajpayee-Musharaf regime could be used as a ‘launching pad’ to achieve the desired results.
