Srinagar Oct 24: J&K BJP\u2019s General Secretary Ashok Koul Thursday said that if Gagangeer, Ganderbal type attacks would stop only then a final call about restoration of statehood in J&K can be taken.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrime Minister Narendera Modi and the Union Home Minister are on record about restoration of Statehood to J&K at an appropriate time. Now it\u2019s the Agencies and the Centre that would take a call on whether Statehood needs to be restored,\u201d Koul told reporters in Srinagar on the sidelines of a party function organised to pay tributes to Pandit Prem Nath Dogra, as per news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO).<\/p>\n
He said that if Gangangeer type attacks would stop only then the call for restoration of Statehood will be taken. \u201cPerhaps the timing of the attack was wrong at Gagangeer, otherwise there would have been casualties of hundreds of workers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said that NC chief Dr Farooq Abdullah has already condemned the incident and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti too, though guardedly. \u201cThese incidents need the highest form of condemnation. These are attempts to destabilize the peace and new government in J&K,\u201d Koul said.<\/p>\n
He said that earlier it was Kathua, Reasi and Rajouri where innocents were targeted and now it is Kashmir. \u201cToday also a non-local labourer was injured in Tral which again is highly condemnable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Replying to a query as to whether there should be talks with Pakistan, Koul said no talks can be held with the neighbouring country unless it hands over militant commanders including Syed Salahudin to India. \u201cLet Pakistan handover Salahudin to India, only then talks can happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
About the possibility of restoration of Article 370, Koul said no government in J&K can bring back the Article 370 back. \u201cThere should be no confusion in this,\u201d he said\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
