Sardar Patel would have solved Kashmir issue: Sushil Modi

Recently war of words has broken out between Congress and BJP leadership over Kashmir issue.

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi lashed out at Congress for its failure in resolving Kashmir dispute on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on Tuesday.

Sushil Modi said, "Had Sardar Patel been alive, the solution to Kashmir issue would have been achieved long back."

Commenting on Chinese aggression in 1962, he said, "Sardar Patel had warned Nehru many times to be wary of China but he never paid heed to it." Former Prime Minister Nehru faced harsh criticism from government officials, for having promoted pacifist relations with China and inability to anticipate Chinese aggression.

Recently war of words has broken out between Congress and BJP leadership over Kashmir issue.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh slammed Congress leader P Chidambaram over his remarks on Kashmir's autonomy, saying the present situation in the Valley was due to the "acts of omission and commission" by his party while in power at the Centre as well as in Jammu and Kashmir.

Chidambaram said, "When people in Jammu and Kashmir ask for 'azadi', they seek autonomy."
