SRINAGAR, Dec 5: Former Union Minister and senior Congress leader Prof Saifuddin Soz on Monday said some sections in Kashmir society were apprehensive that certain elements in Delhi’s power elite were seriously thinking to institute a political formation as a Third Front to play a political game that would be conducive to its (Centre’s) policy.
In a statement issued, Soz said, “I have some knowledge and assessment that the Union of India committed many mistakes in the past in its assessment of genuine aspirations of the people of Kashmir. The Masters have rightly said that those people who are not prepared to learn from their mistakes continue to repeat them.”
He said that he had a feeling that the efforts of certain short-sighted elements in Delhi’s political class would not succeed to indirectly impose a political situation that would surely be unacceptable to the general run of Kashmiris.
“The best course of response to the critical situation in Kashmir, available to the Union of India is that, it should initiate an un-fettered dialogue with the Separatist leadership, at its earliest,” Soz said.
Meanwhile, he said, “I welcome the Yashwant Sinha delegation, which is again visiting Kashmir shortly and wish it all success in its mission.”
