Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) President and Member Parliament Abdul Rashid Sheikh popularly known as Engineer Rashid on Tuesday said whoever will form the next government should become a bridge between the people of Jammu and Kashmir and New Delhi.
“Whoever will form the next government, I urge should become a bridge between the people of Jammu and Kashmir and New Delhi so that the sufferings come to an end and people live with honour, dignity and self-respect,” Rashid told media in Srinagar on Tuesday.
The Member Parliament from Baramulla said that “power is not a permanent thing. When one sits on the governing chair, he thinks he would not lose it”.
He said Jammu and Kashmir is not an ordinary state. “Don’t make Kashmir an issue of Hindu-Muslims.. treat the people with humanity,” he added.
Rashid said the External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar should not go to Islamabad just for a tour.
He should not deceive the world that I went to the Shanghai conference. He should do something good behind the scenes for the peace of Kashmir.
