Srinagar, May 16: AIP Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi has strongly criticised Congress leaders for opposing recent remarks advocating dialogue with Pakistan, terming the party’s stand as “politically convenient hypocrisy and a complete contradiction of its own historical position.”
Inam Un Nabi said it is ironic that Congress leaders are attacking calls for engagement and dialogue with Pakistan despite the fact that Congress governments and senior congress party leaders have themselves repeatedly advocated diplomatic engagement and confidence-building measures with Pakistan in the past.
Referring to the criticism of RSS leader Dattatreya Hosabale’s remarks on dialogue with Pakistan, Inam said the Congress response exposes its selective political approach where the party changes its stand according to convenience and political atmosphere.
“Successive governments in India, including Congress-led governments, have engaged Pakistan diplomatically despite periods of hostility and tension. Dialogue between nations has always remained part of statesmanship and mature political thinking. It is unfortunate that Congress today is opposing what it itself advocated for decades,” Inam said.
