Omar bats for separatists, asks GoI to start dialogue with them 12/17/2015 11:26:41 PM Saahil Suhail Early Times Report Anantnag, Dec 17: Former Chief Minister and National Conference's working president Omar Abdullah Thursday asked New Delhi to start internal dialogue with "state political leadership including separatists" for the resolution of Kashmir problem. Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a public rally at Shangus, he said, "We can't expect the resolution of Kashmir problem through Indo-Pak dialogue given the fact that it has internal and external dimensions. The Indo-Pak dialogue will address external dimension but for the internal dimension, Centre has to start a dialogue with state including those who have different political ideologies (separatists)." He said, "Issues can't be resolved with guns and money. We have stated this many a times. If we have to resolve disputes, we can do so only through dialogue. We can't resolve disputes with the help of gun and money." This is not the first time that Omar has appeased secessionists. Earlier also, he has made such statements and demanded inclusion of separatists in the ongoing Indo-Pak dialogue despite knowing the fact that they don't have any role. Omar, while responding to a question, claimed that his government didn't allow the implementation of Food Security Bill and threatened to launch protests if the coalition government went ahead with its decision of implementing it. "My colleague Ali Mohammad Sagar, who himself was a cabinet minister, is witness to the fact that I refused to implement Food Act despite pressure from Congress as I knew that J&K is the only state where it will not benefit people," he said. He said the Act would hit three lakh families in Srinagar alone and so in other areas and districts of state. "We aren't in secretariat, but inside the assembly and outside on streets NC will resist the implementation of Food Act and force the government to bend," he asserted. Pertinently, the PDP-BJP government has decided to implement the Act from February next year. Earlier, addressing the rally, Omar said that collation government had failed to deliver. "At three spots, I witnessed protests against this government which prove my point," he added.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
