New Delhi, Aug 10 (IBNS) : Joining the Congress in the call for stemming rot in Kashmir, the CPI(M) on Wednesday urged the Narendra Modi Government to build up trust and confidence among the people of the valley.

"If there is a trust deficit, you have to create an atmosphere of trust.... I urge the Government  to discuss this issue with open mind, listen to all ideas, confidence building is required," CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury said.

"Are you creating trust when you talk of Gau raksha, or when you say we will abrogate Article 370?," Yechury asked.

Commenting on the Kashmir situation and the role of Pakistan, he said Pakistan may be taking advantage of situation, "but a vulture comes down only when there is a carcass to feed on."

He said  pelleting should stop and "all shades of opinion"should be sought to improve the Kashmir situation.

The five-hour discussion was initiated by Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad, who wanted the Prime Minister to make a statement on Kashmir issue in Parliament.


Key words : Rajya Sabha discussion,Kashmir unrest,Sitaram Yechury,Trust and confidence
