Srinagar 25 March(KNB): Union Home Minister Amit Shah has welcomed the decision of several Hurriyat Conference factions to cut ties with separatism. This significant development is seen as a major shift in the Kashmir Valley’s political landscape.
The Hurriyat Conference, an alliance of separatist organizations, has been a key player in Kashmir’s separatist movement. However, with some of its factions now distancing themselves from separatism, it marks a substantial change in their stance.¹
Shah’s endorsement of this decision underscores the Indian government’s efforts to engage with Kashmiri leaders and promote a sense of national unity. The move is also likely to have implications for the region’s politics, as it may pave the way for more mainstream political engagement.
While details of the factions’ decision and its implications are still emerging, this development is being closely watched by observers of Kashmir’s complex political scene.(KNB)
