Dismissing AAP leader Prashant Bhushan's comment that there should a referendum on army's presence in Kashmir, Union Health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad today said that one should not "comment on a matter not well versed in" as it creates more confusion than solution.
He said he has "immense respect" for AAP but when someone gets success all of a sudden then he thinks himself as an Alexander, who will conquer the whole world.
"They must go very slow. There are certain issues which have national and international implications. So many people talking about Kashmir without knowing anything about it. My advice is this creates more confusion than solution," he told reporters here.
"After so many sacrifices of our soldiers, police personnel, we have almost got rid of militancy there. So my humble request is please don't comment on issues on which we are not well versed," said Azad while reacting to Bhushan's comment that there should be referendum on Army's presence in Kashmir.
The army was called in when the police and administration failed to tackle the situation and it had been done in Maharashtra, Gujarat and some other states, he said.
"So there is nothing new if such situation arises in J&K too and army is being called in," said Azad, a former chief minister of J&K.
Bhushan yesterday batted for the lifting of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act in Jammu and Kashmir, saying it gave the Army immunity in cases of human rights violation which caused alienation among the people.
