Handwara: Appealing BJP and Congress not to use Kashmir issue for their vote politics, AIP Supremo and MLA Langate Er Rasheed Sunday asked both the parties to clear their confusions and take a realistic stand for the durable settlement of the seventy year long dispute.
While addressing a gathering at in Handwara Er Rasheed reiterated that autonomy is not a solution to the problem. He said it is strange that both the main national parties are exposing themselves by not speaking the truth and distorting the historic facts.
While P Chidambaram must know that autonomy has no takers, BJP should explain, if Sang Parivar is not even in favour of restoring 1953 position, what is the purpose of appointing interlocutor. Unless both the parties do not stop black mailing each other using the sufferings of Kashmiris as a tool to do so, nothing is going to compel Kashmiris to soften their justified stand. Er Rasheed added that by contradicting their own intentions the central govt. Is proving that it had nothing to offer to Kashmiris that could match the historic realities, sentiments and sacrifices of Kashmiris.
He added Chidambarams desire to offer autonomy to kashmiris is just an attempt to corner BJP. If congress sincerely believes autonomy should be given to Kashmiris, why didnt they offered it during their long rule. It is congress which in fact not only is responsible for creation of Kashmir issue, eroding autonomy and hanging Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhat but has also provoked Pakistan by fully supporting creation of Bangladesh.
Rasheed appealed BJP leadership to come out of the impression that it can force a resolution of its own choice by harassing and humiliating Kashmiris one way or the other.
