JAMMU: Former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil expressed concern over the increasing tension on the borders of Jammu and Kashmir and said that war was no solution to any problem. Reiterating the urgency of initiating unconditional dialogue in Jammu and Kashmir, Vakil called for engaging all sections of the society in a credible and meaningful political process for the resolution of Kashmir issue. “The country’s political leadership must without any further delay, reach out and engage all sections in a productive process to the issue and make peace a reality in Jammu and Kashmir,” he added. In a statement issued here on Friday, Vakil said it is unfortunate that in the past whenever the peace is restored in the Valley the Central Government understands that situation has become normal for all the times but it is not like that Centre should understand if they take it like that, they are mistaken. It will be in the interest of the State and Central Government to take steps for initiating dialogue with all the stake holders without any delay, Vakil added.
