Srinagar, 14 September : The BJP in Kashmir organized a function here to pay tribute to the three slain security force officers.
The BJP leader was reacting to the statement of National Conference president Farooq Abdullah, who said dialogue with Pakistan was necessary to end the bloodshed and establish peace in Jammu and Kashmir.
“I think time has come to put even those people in jail who advocate holding talks with Pakistan. It is these people who advance Pakistan’s cause here and support it,” Thakur said after paying tributes to Colonel Manpreet Singh, Major Ashish Dhonchak, and Deputy SP Humayun Bhat, who were martyred in an encounter with terrorists in Anantnag district on Wednesday. Thakur said India has held talks with Pakistan several times, but the neighboring country has always played foul.
“We have held talks with Pakistan many times since 1947. (Atal Bihari) Vajpayee went to Lahore by bus, but Pakistan is a country that will never give up its mischievous activities. Terrorism and talks cannot go on simultaneously,” he added.
