PM’s meeting with J&K leaders ‘positive’ step, says Karan Singh

The Hindu  

Describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with top political leaders from Jammu and Kashmir as a “very positive step”, veteran Congress leader and former J&K governor Karan Singh on Friday said statehood must be restored before holding Assembly polls there and asserted that such a move would go a long way in helping to “heal the wounds” of the people. Reacting to the Prime Minister’s meeting with 14 political leaders of Jammu and Kashmir, including four former chief ministers, Mr. Singh said, “I definitely think it is a very positive step. Asked if statehood could reduce “dil ki doori’ — a term used by Prime Minister Modi at the meeting, Mr. Singh said restoring statehood will go a long way to help “heal the wounds”. Asked about calls from a section for restoring Article 370 provisions that granted special status to J&K and were abrogated in 2019, Mr. Singh said, “My personal belief in this is that it seems to me prima facie that the changes are irreversible but the matter is before the Supreme Court so we shouldn’t unnecessarily make any detailed comment on it what should be done and what should not be done.” The veteran Congress leader urged the Supreme Court to take up the matter soon, asserting that it was a very crucial and important issue that should be given priority.
