Jammu-KashmirThe Jammu and Kashmir government today welcomed Prime Minister’s statement, saying the Kashmir issue must not be shelved as was done post 2008 and 2010 unrest.

The Jammu and Kashmir government spokesman and state’s education minister Naeem Akhtar has welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi statement that he wanted dialogue with Kashmiri under the framwork of ‘Insaniyat’. He said that PM statement on Kashmir is “worth to hail” and “we have welcomed his approach over reaching out to the perturbed people of Kashmir.”

He reiterated the urgency for the dialogue over Kashmir crises.

Akhtar said that dialogue has always been the only way to get Kashmir out of crises and allow its inhabitants to witness peaceful times. “We have always strived for the resumption of the dialogue process to get things back in order. It has been our long pending demand. We want dialogue to take place in a most conducive manner,” Akhtar said.

However, the government spokesman asked the GOI that after normalcy returns in Kashmir, issues must not be thrown into the cold storage as was done after the 2008 and 2010 agitations which claimed lives of more than 200 people.
