Adilabad, Telangana: Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said PM Modi should shed his "confrontationist attitude" and stop making "provocative statement" in order to find a solution to the Kashmir issue.
"If you want peace there (in Kashmir), then Modi-ji drop your confrontationist attitude. Stop making provocative speeches," he said.
"BJP is a coalition partner with PDP in J&K. But the two parties do not agree on basic issues. They want to retain only power. Congress has suggested taking an all-party delegation to Kashmir valley for achieving peace. Please agree to that," he said.
He ridiculed PM Modi's unscheduled visit to Pakistan to attend a wedding in Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's family and also raked up the Pathankot attack.
"During the oath ceremony he (PM Modi) invited Pakistan (Nawaz Sharif) and without any formal invitation he broke off his journey from Afghanistan to attend a family wedding. And two days later the Pathankot attack took place where four or five terrorists came.... NIA says there were six terrorists. But there were only four bodies found. Where were the other two terrorists?" Mr Singh said.
The NDA government should have put conditions before allowing Pakistan investigators to probe the Pathankot incident, he said.
