Javaid Mir expresses disappointment over cancellation of NSA-level talks

Srinagar, Aug 23 : Senior Hurriyat (M) leader and Chairman JKLF Javaid Ahmad Mir has expressed disappointment over the cancellation of talks between India and Pakistan. He said Kashmiries are the main stakeholders to the Kashmir dispute, therefore India should shun its stubbornness and took tangible and concrete steps for the settlement of Kashmir issue.
In a statement issued today, he said: “Indian ruling dispensation is responsible for failure of NSA talks between India and Pakistan. Kashmiri people have given lots of sacrifices for their Right of Self determination. It’s very unfortunate that BJP Govt has once again shown its rigidity by demanding talks be confined to discussing terror. The two countries can’t discuss Kashmir issue without Kashmiris. BJP double standard and rigidity is no way out. We are dismayed over the mounting tensions between the two countries over NSA level talks, The BJP Led Govt at the centre is violating the concept of former prime minister Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee, adding, Kashmiri people are not scape goats, history is witness to the fact that bilateral talks have always ended up in Failure,” Mir added.
Meanwhile Javaid Ahmad Mir in strong words condemned the arrest of Hurriyat leadership in Delhi, adding, these tactics will never ever weaken the Freedom sentiment of the people of Kashmir.
