Arab League says it cannot be in league with separatists in Kashmir
The powerful Arab League has dealt a severe blow to the separatists after it refused to take sides and speak on the Kashmir issue.
Arab League has no position to speak on the Kashmir issue. We hope bloodshed ends and peace prevails, Dr Ahmed Salem Al-Wahishi, Arab League ambassador said on the sidelines of a peace conference in Srinagar.
The statement comes 10 days after moderate Hurriyat Conference claimed that Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) has decided setting up of a human rights commission to probe the alleged abuses in Kashmir.
But the Arab League envoys statement is likely to relieve New Delhi since the members of the Arab states form the majority group within the OIC. Moderate Hurriyat Conference has observer status in the OIC.
Dileep Padgoankar, who heads the three member interlocutors team, said they have begun to see the light at the end of the tunnel. He however refused to comment on the suspension of former Hurriyat chairman Moulana Abbaas Ansari after his meeting with the interlocutors.
J&K governor NN Vohra, who was the chief guest at the conference, said the people of the state have a high stakes in peace and normalcy. There is an imperative need for everyone to ponder over the unfortunate happenings of the last over two decades and take every required step to reverse the trend to restore the shining glory of the state, he said.
