Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti states that contentious Kashmir dispute could best be resolved through former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s policy of accommodating Kashmiris and giving Pakistan a role in the solution

Speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Mufti indicated there could not be a solution to the Kashmir issue that involved any change of borders or exchange of territory.
The 56-year-old politician, who plays a key behind-the-scenes role in the BJP-PDP coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir, ruled out the possibility of the Islamic State making inroads in the restive state, saying its actions were the antithesis of the Sufi Islam practised in the region.
“Ultimately there is no alternative to Vajpayee’s policy of reaching out to the people of Jammu and Kashmir while also accommodating Pakistan somewhere,” she said while talking of her father and chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s efforts to resolve the Kashmir issue.
“It’s not about giving Kashmir to anybody - you can’t do that,” Mufti said. Her father, she said, wanted to “take the Vajpayee process to its logical conclusion”.
“Whatever my father had started during Vajpayee’s time and then it was taken forward by Dr Manmohan Singh...everything was put on the backburner,” she said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she pointed out, had “often been saying he wants to follow Vajpayee’s policy on Kashmir”.

Farooq Abdullah today said autonomy for the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir, including the region under Pakistan’s control, and a porous Line of Control would result in a “happy situation” and described it as a “joint family” solution

Farooq said if Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) becomes Pakistan’s region with a “similar autonomy that we have” and borders become easy and accessible for everybody it would lead to a “happy situation” and settle “many problems of India and Pakistan”.
“Everybody from here can have access to that place and everybody from that Kashmir can have access to this place. So we can trade. Our boys can marry girls from there and their boys can marry girls from here. It will be like a joint family,” the NC patron told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.
Farooq said the “only trouble” in implementing the solution was that the “shops of those who want this trouble in Jammu and Kashmir to continue will close down”.
He said the NC had no problem in accepting any other solution that created good relations between India and Pakistan.
Responding to criticism about his earlier statement that Pakistan will hold on to its side of Kashmir and India will retain this side of Kashmir, Farooq said former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had also suggested it when he travelled to Pakistan.
“He (Vajpayee) had suggested to him (then Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif) to keep that (Kashmir) and we keep this,” Farooq said, adding that there is no other solution.
“If they have any other solution and they think they can occupy that (Kashmir) with military force, why are they not doing it?” he said.
