Statement by BJP President Shri Rajnath Singh
at New Delhi on November 10, 2013
Bhartiya Janata Party [BJP] Criticized U P A’s Pakistan Policy
B J P expresses its grave concern over the manner in which the UPA government is operating its Pakistan policy. and demanded that Mr Aziz should be stopped from holding talks with Kashmiri separatists on Indian soil.
On the one hand India facing a series of ceasefire violations from Pakistan and on the other hand the UPA Government’s response towards such acts of aggression has been submissive.
After making a failed attempt to buy peace with Pakistan at New York, the UPA government has now allowed Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s advisor Sartaj Aziz to meet and hold talks with Kashmiri separatist leaders in New Delhi. Why Mr Aziz is given this opportunity when Pakistan is committing acts of aggression in the state of Jammu and Kashmir? This is something blatantly against the established international diplomatic norms.
Pakistan has been trying hard to internationalize the Kashmir issue for the past many years. Kashmir issue was recently raised once again at the UN General Assembly meeting this year by Pakistan. In the absence of a long term strategic thinking and direction the UPA government’s Pakistan policy has been driven by adhocism. By allowing Mr Sartaj Aziz to hold talks with Kashmiri separatists the UPA government has committed another diplomatic blunder with serious costs to national security and national interest.
The BJP demands that Mr Aziz should be stopped from holding talks with Kashmiri separatists on Indian soil. Kashmir issue is India’s internal matter and it should be resolved through a home grown solution.
