Lashing out at the BJP-led NDA Government for not being able to bring any solution to the prevailing unrest in Kashmir yet, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Wednesday said blood spilled in the Valley was drawing vultures from Pakistan.
CPI (M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury told the Rajya Sabha if there is a trust deficit, the government has to create an atmosphere of trust in Kashmir.
"No solutions have been found in over 32 days of turmoil in Kashmir and use of pellet guns has also not stopped despite repeated requests. Vultures only come down when they smell blood. Blood is being spilled in Kashmir and that's why vultures are coming in from across the border," he added.
Yechury urged the government to discuss the issue with an open mind and listen to all ideas, adding that confidence building is required for the same.
"The problem can be solved only if you initiate this political dialogue on the central issue, of promises made to the people of Kashmir. How are you going to implement that? I have been urging the government that this only can come through in an atmosphere of trust. I want the government to seriously ponder because the point is to solve the problem in Kashmir, which is actually a wound for all of us," he added.
The Opposition leaders had voiced concern over the Valley being curfew-bound for over a month and demanded a stop to the use of pellet guns.
