Panun Kashmir today criticised Syed Ali Shah Geelani for defending use of guns as a solution to the Kashmir problem, and said the hardline Hurriyat leader's remarks should come as an eye-opener for Indian government.
The organisation of displaced Kashmiri Pandits also questioned the rationale behind efforts to engage such factions for dialogue when they are in support of guns.
At a public rally few days back, Geelani had said that gun as a solution to Kashmir problem cannot be ruled out.
Panun Kashmir President Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo said such a remark should open the eyes of Indian government.
"Meeting of some Kashmiri separatists with Sartaj Aziz, the Adviser to Pakistan PM, displays a complete policy paralysis," Chrungoo said.
He also welcomed BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for his proposed visit to Jammu, and hoped that the Gujarat CM will speak on the issues concerning a vast population of refugees and the displaced people of Kashmir.
Chrungoo said a joint forum of Kashmiri Pandits will utilise this opportunity about mass exodus of people from the state in past two decades.
