In a strong denunciation of diplomatic engagement with Pakistan, Devender Singh Rana, a senior leader of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has criticized those advocating for talks between India and Pakistan as practicing “insensitive politics.”
Rana’s remarks came during a weekly public hearing at the BJP headquarters, where he addressed deputations and individuals. He voiced his dismay at the idea of initiating dialogue with Islamabad, emphasizing the prevailing threat of terrorism emanating from Pakistan.
“The insensitive terror ecosystem should learn a lesson from the common man in Kashmir who took to the streets and joined the candle march to pay their tributes to valiant martyrs, who offered supreme sacrifice to maintain the prevailing momentum of normalcy in the Valley,” Rana asserted.
Highlighting the Indian government’s consistent stance that “terror and talks not going together,” Rana firmly stated, “India cannot engage itself with a country that sprouts terrorism.” He cautioned against individuals attempting to establish an unwarranted role for themselves in the dialogue process and accused them of engaging in political opportunism.
Rana underlined the shift in public sentiment within Jammu and Kashmir, emphasizing that the people were increasingly rejecting violence and disruption. He noted that the region was experiencing the benefits of peace more than ever before.
Regarding the security situation in the Kashmir region, Rana claimed that militancy originating from Pakistan was on its last legs due to focused operations by security forces, the police, and local communities. He condemned any attempts to downplay the violence inflicted by militants and asserted that the actions of Pakistan and its associates in Kashmir were undeniable.
Rana concluded by affirming that Pakistan-sponsored terrorists could not hold peace hostage, as they were “destined to doom and meet their designated fate.”
