Kashmir issue is unique, needs a collective effort by Indians: Mehbooba Mufti

Hindustan Times  

Observing that situation in Kashmir depends on Indo-Pak relations, chief minister Mehbooba Mufti on Friday emphasised the need for collective efforts of people of India for resolving the issue related to the state which is “unique” in nature. Mehbooba said Jammu and Kashmir was not like “other normal states” and though it was easy to become the chief minister, it was a difficult task to handle the state. Jammu and Kashmir is a “unique issue” which requires that the “political process and the governance must go together”, she said, adding “Only a chief minister or prime minister cannot resolve this issue. It has to be resolved by the people of our country.” Addressing a function on the outskirts of Jammu, she said, “The Kashmir situation also depends on the role of Pakistan and if our relation with that country is good then it has a good impact in the state.” Referring to the recent visit by an all-party delegation of MPs to the state, Mehbooba said “it was the beauty of the democracy of our country that when the interest of the country came, leaders of various political parties didn’t care for their self-esteem and went to the doorsteps” of the people for peace.
