Panaji: The Kashmir conundrum is not an easy issue to resolve and only a long-term policy can tackle it, Goa Chief Minister and former Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Friday.
Mr Parrikar also said that there was a lot of pressure on him when he was serving as the Defence Minister in the national capital.
"It is not easy to resolve the Kashmir issue. There is a need for a long-term policy to resolve the Kashmir issue," Mr Parrikar said at the 126th birth anniversary celebration of Babasaheb Ambedkar here.
"Delhi is not my place. It is not the place I am habituated to. There was a lot of pressure on me," Mr Parrikar said.
"I feel, there are some things where discussions should be minimum. But things need to be made to happen. Discussions can be a spoiler," he added.
He said discussions bring to the fore multiple opinions, which can prove to be a hindrance in decision-making.
