SRINAGAR:Communist Party of India (Marxist) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury Monday said that it is the right time to renew India-Kashmir relationship and start from the very thread that connected the both in 1948.
Yechuri said that he doesn’t take it to heart that Syed Ali Geelani refused to meet. “Please understand that it was not a snub. In fact we understand the ground reality and realize that there is a need for the government to start an unconditional dialogue with all stakeholders, including separatists, for peace in Kashmir which is witnessing unabated violence,” he said and added that last time he had a detailed meeting with Geelani and may be the failure in follow up was the reason, separatist leader didn’t come forward.
He added the solution of Kashmir problem lies in unconditional political dialogue.
Yechuri admitted that there is trust deficit because of the mishandling of Kashmir situation and talks in past. “The Kashmir killings have disturbed me. I am deeply and genuinely concerned and want Government of India to resolve this issue in the interest of people. We have already taken a position and there is possibility we can rewind the clock back to 1948. India must go to the 1948 position to reassure Kashmir that it cares about them,” he said
