PDP spokesman Naeem Akhter has witnessed many ups and downs in state politics, mostly as a government official and lately by voluntarily leaving government and joining politics. Ever since Narendra Modi has become Prime Minister, he has been telling almost everybody, his favourite line: for Modi, the path to statesmanship and reconciliation passes through Kashmir.His argument is logical. Akhter says that Modi has a sectarian identity as most of the Indian voters have not been supportive to him. His Gujarat baggage will always question his commitment to inclusiveness and that his foreign policy is essentially dominated by what he does with Pakistan. Kashmir being India’s major Muslim majority state and Pakistan being involved historically with the state, it is an ideal place to manage both the concerns: development of minorities and starting reconciliation with Pakistan. That was the perfect doctrine that his predecessor in NDA Atal Behari Vajpayee had successfully attempted and left his indelible marks as a statesman.
