Congress wants Kashmir solution to
suit all three regions

Jammu: The Congress Saturday said Jammu and Kashmir
separatists should join other parties in talks with New Delhi to
find a solution that respects the aspirations of all three regions
of the state - Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir.
"I have been arguing that the separatists should join their voice
with that of the mainstream parties and then project a common
voice in talks with Delhi," Pradesh Congress Committee president
Saif-ud-Din Soz told party workers here.
He said the Congress would not accept any region specific
solution.
Speaking at a function to commemorate the 20th death anniversary
of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, he said the Congress alone
could guarantee the unity and integrity of the Himalayan state.
He said there should be simultaneous dialogue between India and
Pakistan and the leaders of Jammu and Kashmir and the central
government. "That alone would deliver results."
Soz, whose efforts yielded results in breaking the ice when the
central government and separatists' dialogue got stalled in 2005,
said the solution in the state should be such that it respects the
aspirations of people in the state's Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir
regions.
