Shelving APD deliberations, recommendations Unfortunate
Don’t treat Kashmir as a chess board: Tarigami to Indo-Pak

Srinagar, September 28, (Scoop News)-Although visit of All Party Delegation (APD) was a late initiative even then could be termed as a welcome move. However nothing has come to the fore regarding the deleiberations held with union Home Ministry and the recommedanations put forth by the parlimanterians of the group. The stand-still caused has upscaled the disillusionment and alienation among the people of the state. Every thing has been kept in-camera making the approach of the government in tackling the Kashmir issue questionable.This was stated by senior CPI(M) leader and MLA Kulgam Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami while addressing a press conference here today.

The delay tactics seemingly adopted by the government in initiating a credible and comprehensive dialogue with the stake-holders amounts to dis-service to the people and having dangerious implications. It is a presumption that as if government of India is left with the sole option of using excessive force to pacify the unrest and trying to put the issue under carpet which is not in the intrest of anyone.Union government has shown no signs of changing its approach in tackling the situation in the valley and banning the lethal pellet guns.

CPI (M) reiterates that there is no wayout availabe to settle the issues amicably other than dialogue with all the stake holders. A purposeful and logical dialogue demands constitution of a committee of parlimenterians across the political spectrum assisted with experts and mandated with an initiation of serious and unconditional political dialogue for resolution of Kashmir issue. Present unrest has strongly demonstrated that the issue cannot be shelved any more and the steps taken in the past with a sole purpose of crisis management must not be repeated. If it happens there could be a serious threat to the peace in the region and is bound to deepen disillusement and disappointment among the people.

Both central and state governments are under an obligation to take urgent steps for building shattered confidence by immediately stopping indiscriminate arrests and slapping of Public Safety Act (PSA) on the youth. The cases of detained youth need to be reviewed as random arrestes are being made and the draconian PSA slapped without substantative and valid reasons. Time bound judicial probes must be conducted in all incidents in which innocent lives were lost and banning of pellet guns must be ensured. Massive damages have been caused by security forces to residential houses and vehicles across the valley on the pretext of dealing the protests, which is unwarranted and unfortunate.

Adequete compensation must be paid to the families havaing suffered loss of lives and rehabilitation of maimed, blinded and injured must be taken in hand. The horticulture and transport sectors have been affected and must be compensated by waiveing of interest on the loans.

Withdrawl of DDA and AFSPA from civilian areas is also imperative for restoring the confidence of the people.

There is no alternative to talking and the recent unfortunate incident at Uri should not be an excuse for confrontations and hostilities between the two neighbouring countries of the region. India and Pakistan should not treat Kashmir as a chess board and must shun the rigidities for paving a way for lasting solution of the vexed Kashmir problem.
