Islamabad, Aug 10: Kashmir Committee chairman and Rajya Sabha member, Ram Jethmalani, today said "all-out effort" should be made by India and Pakistan to resume
dialogue process.
This was an "opportune moment for all the three parties,
India, Pakistan and Kashmiris," to hold talks to settle this
"lingering dispute", Jethmalani, who is here as part of a
delegation of Indian parliamentarians, told reporters here.
Asked about the possible solution of the Kashmir problem, he said "many solutions can be found if you talk with each other".
Replying to a question, he said it was "not fair on the part of the Indian government to stop" leaders from Jammu and Kashmir from meeting their counterparts on the other side of the Line of Control.
Jethmalani said it was a "futile exercise" to seize passports of Kashmiri leaders and added that he was ready to fight the cases of those whose passports had been seized by the Indian government.
Meanwhile, former Prime Minister of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Sardar Abdul Qayyum Khan, said he has no intention of meeting Jethmalani or other members of the delegation.
"Jethmalani could not make any progress in ending Indian repressive policy (in Jammu and Kashmir). Therefore, meeting him will not yield any positive and serious result," he said. Bureau Report
