rajnath says separatists hurriyat leader lack kashmiriyatIn a press conference today, Home Minister Rajnath Singh criticized Hurriyat leaders in Kashmir for refusing to hold talks with the members of the all-party delegation, claiming that the separatists’ have shown that they don’t believe in Kashmiriyat, insaniyat (humanity) or jamhooriyat (democracy).

In his remarks, Singh stated that “the doors and windows for dialogue” on Kashmir were always open. However, he ruled out any talks with Pakistan on the issue in near future as he mentioned that “let us first talk with the people within our country.” He explained that “some members of delegation went to meet Hurriyat leaders in their individual capacity. We neither said ‘Yes’ nor ‘No’ (to the move),” adding that “the information given by the delegates (about how the members were treated) makes it clear that it is neither Kashmiriyat nor insaniyat.” The head of the delegation in Kashmir, Singh, mentioned on the second day of its visit that “the members had gone to hold talks but by refusing to talk, they have shown that they (separatists) do no believe in jamhooriyat as well.” It was explained that MPs like CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury, CPI’s D Raja, JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav, RJD’s Jay Prakash Narayan and AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi reach out to the leaders yesterday but were all refused.

In response to a question about the move by Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to write to the separatists urging them to engage with the delegation for resolution of Kashmir issue, Singh replied that “yes, I have information about that …. she had written a letter.”
