Srinagar: Chairman Muslim Conference (MC) Prof. Abdul Gani Bhat while speaking before a congregation for Friday prayers, at a village Watkulu in Char-i-Shreef, said that ‘irrelevant people can’t be engaged in dialogue instead of real representatives of the people of Kashmir. Expecting a solution to Kashmir problem, if this is done, is far from sight’.
“Unity flourishes by rendering enormous sacrifices and devotion for the purpose of peoples’ cause. Individuals can’t be chosen and engaged. Those busy in dividing people by their divisive political gimmicks would lead us nowhere.”
Pointing out that New Delhi’s ‘unrealistic approach’ would further worsen the situation in Kashmir and could tear apart already fragile peace in the valley, Prof. Bhat said that such approach is quite divisive in nature and will lead nowhere except creating more trouble and hardships for Kashmiris.
Prof. Bhat said, “unfortunately there are divergences in our way of approach as well, which need to be rectified and reconciled. History is witness that those who don’t understand the changing currents of time can’t move ahead and we must accept the ground reality. Parties involved have to be realistic and express highest degree of magnanimity in approaches for an amicable solution to the problem.”
Prof. Bhat said that the growing presence of big powers in South Asia could have an ugly turn any time for their typically different interests in the region. “So all stakeholders including India, Pakistan and the people of Kashmir need to put all efforts and endeavors for a peaceful solution of Kashmir Problem,” he added.
