Srinagar, July 31 (KNS): Peoples Democratic Front (PDF) president and MLA Khansahib Hakim Mohammad Yasin today said that situation in Kashmir was worsening day-by- day and it seems neither central nor state governments were having any control on the situation.
In a statement issued to KNS, Hakim Yasin said, “The situation is turning from bad to worse. It is high time that government of India invites separatists for talks. There is also need to resume the stalled dialogue between India and Pakistan. There is no option but to talk.”
The PDF chief said unless the root cause of the problem, which is Kashmir issue, the situation won’t improve. “Apparently the situation may improve for some time with cosmetic measures but in the long run, unless Kashmir problem isn’t addressed according to the aspirations of its people, the present situation will re-occur again and again,” he warned.
Lashing out at the PDP led state government for making false announcement on improvement in situation, the MLA Khansahib said, “They announce that educational institutes have reopened in Kashmir and normalcy has returned which is far from reality.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelInstead of making such fake announcements, the government must take tangible steps to improve the situation,” he said.
“It was PDP who used to say ‘baat banege boli se na ke goli se’. There is a strong government in the Center of which PDP is a partner. When in opposition PDP leadership used to say Kashmir is a core issue and needs to be addressed according to the aspirations of Kashmiris,” Hakim Yasin added.
The MLA Khansahib said now is the time for PDP to address the core issue of Kashmir which can decrease the violence. “If it (Kashmir) isn’t solved the uncertainty will increase and so will violence and killings. People are feeling insecure due to unnecessary killings and it is the duty of the government to instil confidence among the people,” he added. (KNS)
