Karra, who quit PDP and Lok Sabha recently, "has the right to take a decision. However, I would not lose any opportunity or platform to raise my voice," Tarigami told reporters when asked whether he agreed with the step taken by Karra.
"Karra should have spoken about the situation in Kashmir in the Parliament," Tarigami said.

"India and Pakistan should not treat Kashmir as a chess board and must shun the rigidities for paving a way for lasting solution of the vexed Kashmir problem," Tarigami said.
