Briefing reporters in New Delhi, Mr. Naidu said the Congress leaders and think tanks during the UPA rule, Salman Khurshid, Kapil Sibal and P Chidambaram have made contradictory comments which show the inconsistency in the stand of opposition party on Pakistan.
Dubbing Information and Broadcasting Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu’s remark that the grand old party leaders are not guided by national interest but by political opportunism as “unwarranted”, the Congress on Thursday said the BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre was trying to divide the country on a sensitive issue like Kashmir.
Naidu said Congress has once again displayed its insensitivity on the Jammu and Kashmir issue as its own leaders are not in consonance. He also appealed them to not play politics over the issue and come together to bring normalcy in the valley.
“What do they mean PDP, Congress, NC should come together?”
Yesterday, Parrikar described Pakistan as “hell” and echoed Prime Minister Modi’s sentiments at the Independence Day speech by demanding that Pakistan stop violating human rights in its Balochistan province and that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is a part of Indian territory. The PDP-BJP government is squarely responsible for the sharp deterioration in the last six weeks.
He said that a way out of the crisis might not be found by the present government. How many inquiries had been conducted into the outbreak of violence during 1990, 2008 and 2010 when National Conference and Congress were in power, he asked, adding that any political solution to Jammu and Kashmir can only be worked out after taking into confidence people of all the three regions of the state.
