Srinagar: Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday reiterated her stand of initiating the dialogue process to restore peace in Kashmir.
She said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had the mandate of the nation to address the 70-year-old Kashmir issue.
“Humein daldal se koi agar bahar nikal sakta hai toh woh PM Modi hain. Woh jo faisla karenge, mulk support karega,” she said.
“Pehle wale PM bhi Pakistan jana chahte the, par zurrat nahin ki. PM Modi Lahore gaye, yeh taqat ki nishani hai,” Mehbooba said.
She said Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and Atal Bihari Vajpayee had improved the relations between India and Pakistan, which were again disturbed due to the “lack of initiative” by the previous governments.
Mehbooba was addressing a gathering after inaugurating a flyover here.
The function was disrupted twice following a minor clash between former Congress minister Gulchain Singh Charak and BJP workers.
