Srinagar: Hindu spiritual guru, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar who arrived in Srinagar Tuesday said that India and Pakistan should come forward and resolve Kashmir issue in an amicable manner.
Both Pakistan and India should sit across the table and resolve all the disputes, including Kashmir issue, amicably, Sri Sri said adding that Hurriyat leaders should also show keenness in meaningful dialogue.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who heads influential Art Of Living Foundation, said he personally believes that Kashmir issue could be resolved only through dialogue. It would be good if both the countries come forward and have a purposeful dialogue on all the issues.
Separatist leaders of Kashmir should also take initiative and go for dialogue, he said.
Refusing to comment on contentious AFSPA and Gool killings, Sri Sri said that consensus over the revocation of AFSPA is possible only when militancy in Valley would vanish.
He termed it as unfortunate that educated youth of Valley are still unemployed and wander from pillar to post in search of jobs. It is painful to see unemployed youth of Kashmir Valley wandering from pillar to post in search of jobs. Government must take some initiatives to redress their problems, he said.
Sri Sri, who is here for the meeting of Sri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) meeting, also addressed CRPF cadets and officers at Recruitment Training Centre Humhama. (CNS)
