JKDFP welcomes Trump’s mediation offer on Kashmir
Srinagar: Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) Tuesday welcomed the mediation offer of US President Donald Trump on Kashmir.
The JKDFP asked New Delhi to accept the offer of Trump so that the decades old Kashmir issue is resolved once for all.
It said that Kashmir issue had led to the unending bloodshed in valley and instability in the whole south Asian region.
“So it is a golden opportunity for New Delhi to exhibit its maturity and get the Kashmir resolved through US mediation,” the party said in a statement.
A JKDFP spokesperson said that although New Delhi had jailed separatists, “but it has not succeeded in shutting the eyes and ears of the world which is evident by the statement of President Trump on Kashmir”.
The spokesperson said that India was a signatory to the International Convention about the prisoners “which makes it duty bound to follow the international norms about the prisoners”.
“However, New Delhi does not follow the same particularly about Shabir Shah and other political prisoners of Kashmir who are languishing in different jails of the state and outside,” he said.
He said that Shah was suffering from “many serious ailments in the jail for which he needs suitable treatment”.
The JKDFP appealed the Human Rights forums at the international level to intervene into Shah’s release.
