Compromise on Kashmir will spark nationwide stir: BJP
June 23rd, 2011 - 9:45 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, June 23 (IANS) Calling the Kashmir issue a “gift of the Nehru family”, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Thursday warned the Congress-led central government of a nationwide agitation if any compromise on the issue was made.
Speaking here on a day when the two-day foreign secretary level talks between India and Pakistan began in Islamabad, BJP leader L.K. Advani said the party had information that the government was in a mood to make a compromise on the Kashmir issue.
“We also get information time to time that an unofficial agreement has been done. The BJP is spread across the country, if any type of compromise on Kashmir is done and they try to turn the clock back to the situation before 1953, a nationwide agitation will take place which no one can imagine,” Advani said.
Advani blamed former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru for creating the “Kashmir problem”.
“Our countrymen should know that the Kashmir problem is Nehru family’s special gift to the nation,” he said.
“Our country has paid an incalculable price for Nehruji’s failure to settle the Kashmir issue once and for all in India’s favour at the time of partition. Nehruji’s blunder was totally avoidable,” he added.
