New Delhi: Congress has asked senior member P Chidambaram to stick to the party line on Kashmir, in what appeared to be a rebuttal of his recent suggestion that the Union Government extend greater autonomy to win over people in the Valley.
We urge all leaders to stick to the party line on Kashmir, leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said when asked about Chidambarams recent statement that successive governments have ignored the grand bargain struck before Jammu & Kashmirs accession to India.
Azad did not spell out the party line.
Chidambaram had made the grand bargain remark in an interview he gave amid protests in Kashmir over popular militant commander Burhan Wanis killing.
I think we broke faith, we broke promises and as a result we have paid a heavy price, said Chidambaram, who was part of the leadership team during UPAs decade in power.
At least 52 civilians were killed in last 18 days by forces
