BJP on Sunday demanded that the Prime Minister issue a clarify on the statement of Dileep Padgaonkar, head of the three-member interlocutors' panel on Kashmir, that a permanent solution to the Kashmir issue was not possible without involving Pakistan. BJP spokeswoman Nirmala Sitharaman said the Kashmir issue can not be internationalised.
She was reacting to Padgaonkar's assertion that Pakistan had to be on board for a permanent solution
"We are here to look for a permanent solution to the Kashmir dispute but a permanent solution is not possible without the involvement of Pakistan," Padgaonkar had said while informally talking to reporters on Saturday.
The three interlocutors had met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday and said he wanted them to look for a political solution to the lingering crisis and especially speak to "youth and women".
Thousands of people have died since insurgency began in Jammu and Kashmir in 1989.
While things were beginning to look up last year, the state was plunged into a fresh crisis after stone-pelting protesters started clashing with the security forces. At least 110 people have been killed in the ongoing unrest since June 11.
