United Outreach Needed for J&K Dialogue with Centre: Mehbooba
PDP Chief Writes to Political, Social Leaders Seeking Joint Meeting with PM, HM
Srinagar, June 2 (AEN): Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba M***i has called for a united political outreach to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging leaders across Jammu and Kashmir to come together and seek sustained dialogue with the Centre on issues concerning the people of the region.
In this regard, Mehbooba M***i has written to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, BJP Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma, JKPCC President Tariq Hameed Karra, CPI(M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami, People’s Conference Chairman Sajad Gani Lone, MP Engineer Rashid, AAP President Mehraj Malik, PDF Chairman Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen, J&K National Panthers Party leader Harsh Dev Singh, Shiv Sena State President Manish Sahni, Kashmiri Pandit Sangharsh Samiti President Sanjay Tickoo, and Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee Chairman Jaspal Singh.
In her letter, M***i said the progress achieved by the Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance through continuous engagement with the Union Government demonstrates that dialogue can yield meaningful results. She said Jammu and Kashmir is once again passing through a critical phase, marked by growing despair and disillusionment among the people.
Advocating a broad-based consensus that rises above political affiliations and partisan interests, the PDP chief stressed that the restoration of dignity, security and constitutional rights of the people requires constructive engagement with New Delhi.
“The time has come to make a united outreach to the Hon’ble Prime Minister and Hon’ble Home Minister and impress upon them the need for a sustained dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” she said in the letter.
Mehbooba emphasized that the initiative should not be viewed through the prism of political credit or partisan gain but as a collective effort aimed at addressing the aspirations and concerns of the people. She urged all political, social and community leaders to set aside differences and work together towards securing a dignified and lasting framework within the Union of India that safeguards the constitutional rights and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
