Srinagar, July 10: Condemning the recent statement of British Foreign Minister David Miliband that Kashmir people should be taken into confidence by India and Pakistan, while settling Kashmir dispute, state BJP on Friday asked the British government not to interfere in Kashmir affairs.
Speaking to reporters here, “This type of stand by British government amounts to interference in the sovereignty of another country and BJP wants to make it clear to United Kingdom that we are a super power country and self-sufficient to tackle any situation.”
He also said that both India and Pakistan during Shimla Agreement had made a declaration that Kashmir is a bilateral issue and will be resolve without intervention of any third force.
“The dispute between India and Pakistan is only dispute with regard to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), which India wants back,” Khajuria added.
Referring to the working of coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP leader alleged that it is an incompetent government and does not have any definite policy to deal with militancy and secessionist elements in the state.
The role of CRPF and other forces cannot be undermined and ignored in Jammu and Kashmir, Khajuria said adding that BJP will oppose any move of the government to withdraw Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).
