It’s high time for Indo-Pak dialogue: RSS

KS Correspondent

JAMMU: The Rashtriya Swayam Sewak Sangh today declared that conditions were conducive for an Indo-Pak dialogue to resolve all contentious issues, including Kashmir.

He indicated that the conversion of the Line of Control (LoC) into the international border could form basis for the dialogue between the two countries.

RSS spokesperson M.G. Vaidya told newspersons in Jammu on Sunday that the “borders have become silent and these are sufficient conditions for resuming the dialogue with Pakistan”. He saw no change in the level of militant violence after the ceasefire announcement.

Though he maintained that the RSS advocated taking back the portion of Jammu and Kashmir under control of Pakistan, “the ground realities and the US proposal indicated that talks may be on the basis of conversion of LoC into international border.

Asked whether the RSS would accept the LoC conversion, Mr Vaidya avoided a direct answer.

He said that the RSS supported dialogue with secessionists. He said that there was no harm in sending All Party Hurriyat Conference leaders to Pakistan.

Mr Vaidya said he supported the ceasefire also.

He declared that the RSS supported the trifurcation of the state and disagreed that any such division of J&K would lead to communal flare-up. “There have been divisions of the states in the past. Why should there by any violence?”
