Self-rule only viable solution to Kashmir issue: PDP

Jammu, February 28: Opposition PDP today said the party’s self-rule proposal was the only viable solution to the Kashmir problem as it aimed at addressing both internal and external dimensions of this issue.

“Self rule is a document of promises and reconciliation without any compromise with the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti said addressing a seminar on self rule in Bhaderwah, 220 kms from here.

“Wishes and aspirations of all regions and sub-regions have been incorporated in the self-rule document, and only through this proposal both internal and external dimensions of Kashmir problem would be addressed,” she claimed.

Mufti also said the proposal would help develop the state as economic free zone to attract maximum foreign direct investment (FDI), which will ensure multi-fold development of the state.
