India not serious in resolution of Kashmir dispute: JKLF-R
SRINAGAR, September 28, 2011 (PPI): In occupied Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front-R (JKLF-R) has said that India is not serious in peaceful resolution of the decades-old Kashmir dispute.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the JKLF-R Chairman Farooq Ahmad Dar and Senior Vice Chairman, Javed Ahmad Mir in their joint statement criticised the engagements of the General Secretary of Congress, Rahul Gandhi with his party workers in the occupied territory.
They said that instead Rahul Gandi should have met ordinary Kashmiris, who would have reminded him about the promises made to them by his grandfather and India’s first prime minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. “If Rahul Gandhi is so proud of his Kashmiri ancestry, he should fulfil his great grandfather’s promise to Kashmiris and press New Delhi for the resolution of Kashmir dispute,” they maintained.
The JKLF-R leader said that during the past several decades, the Congress had made several pacts with Pakistan on Kashmir and promised to resolve the dispute. “People who are now presenting themselves as Congress loyalists and patriots in occupied Kashmir used to hang around pro-freedom leaders once, and as the Congress General Secretary, it is responsibly of Rahul Gandhi to keep aside his party workers and meet the ordinary Kashmiris so that the Kashmir dispute could be resolved,” they said.
