Srinagar, Aug 25: Senior leader Prof, Saif-ud-din Soz Wednesday said that the statement by three senior Union Ministers including Nirmala Sitharaman, Abbas Naqvi and Anurag Thakur, denouncing the PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, shows their arrogance of power.

In a statement, Soz has said that these BJP leaders have created an impression that they do not care about the facts.

“Mehbooba Mufti has not brought other countries into discussion on Kashmir as they alleged. She has just suggested that the Kashmir issue can be best resolved through discussion and dialogue with Pakistan, besides the people of Jammu and Kashmir State. What is wrong in the statement?,” Soz said.

He said that these ministers do not wish to understand that Pakistan is a basic party to the dispute. “These ministers also refuse to understand that Kashmir is a live issue on the UN agenda and Pakistan has all along been accepted as a basic party to the dispute.”

Soz also said that these ministers should know that what Mehbooba Mufti said in good faith, happens to be a fact accepted universally. “She is also right when she says that the Kashmir dispute can be best resolved through discussion and dialogue.”
