Srinagar: Awami Itehaad Party (AIP) president and former MLA Langate, Engineer Abdul Rasheed Sheikh on Wednesday appealed Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure that political problem should be dealt by political process not by misusing various agencies.
Addressing media persons, Er Rasheed who was accompanied by several party leaders and workers appealed Modi to revisit his Kashmir policy and ensure measures for resolution to Kashmir issue, so that everlasting peace returns in the entire sub-continent.
He also demanded unconditional release of all political prisoners including those languishing in Tihar Jail and said that for creating a concussive atmosphere concrete confidence building measures are a pre-requisite condition on both sides.
He recalled his suggestion of Ramadhan cease fire in the all party meeting last year which became a reality for few days and said that such efforts need to be continued as hostility on either side gives nothing except loss of lives.
Er Rasheed appealed both India and Pakistan not to take for granted the sufferings of Kashmiris and said that while Kashmiris will welcome any goodwill gesture between two countries but cannot surrender their legitimate political rights
