Srinagar:<\/strong> Maintaining that Kashmir issue is a long-pending issue which cannot be resolved without dialogue between India and Pakistan, Senior PDP leader and MP Muzaffar Hussain Baig said that both the countries should develop an understanding to start dialogue on the issue.<\/em>
\nTalking to KNS, the former deputy chief minister said that till India and Pakistan develop an understanding on the issue, the political parties in Kashmir need to resolve issues of the people that they are facing.<\/em>
\n\u201cSince 1990s, youth has seen violence and killings. What are we doing for these youth? We don\u2019t have infrastructure and opportunities for them. We need to create employment for them, start development, business and other activities in Kashmir,\u201d Baig told KNS.<\/em>
\nThe senior leader said that Government of India is ready for talks but Hurriyat is not ready because Pakistan does not permit them.<\/em>
\n\u201cHurriyat leaders will not talk without the consent of Pakistan. They will enter into dialogue with India on the directions of Pakistan. Unless Pakistan gets ready for talks with India, Hurriyat will not participate in dialogue with Government of India,\u201d he said.<\/em>
\nOn holding by-polls on Srinagar parliament seat, the PDP leader said that holding by-polls was a wrong decision. \u201cHolding by-polls gave an opportunity to people to vent their anger against PDP, NC and Congress. People feel that the political parties have exploited their sentiments and grievances,\u201d he said, adding that the Election Commission of India should postpone the by-polls on Anantnag parliamentary seat.<\/em>
\nBaig said that due to deteriorating situation, no development activity is being carried out in Kashmir which has an impact on the PDP\u2019s strength in the valley<\/em>
\n\u201cPDP\u2019s image in Kashmir is being hit as no development activities are taking place, while BJP is on ground in Jammu as the development activities are going on in the region,\u201d he said.<\/em>
\nOn the prevailing situation in which students have protested in educational institutions, the PDP leader said that \u201cunless we resolve the issues of Kashmiri people and youth in particular, situation in Kashmir will not improve.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cToday the situation is very grave as Hurriyat is not in control of youth. Hurriyat leaders do not want destruction. They have witnessed the last year\u2019s unrest. But it is youth who are on the ground, Hurriyat has no control on them,\u201d he said.<\/em>
\nHe said that army cannot resolve political issues; it is meant to defend countries on borders.<\/em>
\nOn non-implementation of agenda of alliance on which PDP-BJP coalition was formed, Baig said, \u201cI had told Mehbooba Mufti to see for 6-8 months if Agenda of Alliance is implemented then she should continue as chief minister. And if it is not implemented then she should go to the people again.\u201d (KNS)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
