New Delhi:
Former SC Judge Markandey Katju has raked another controversy suggesting a rather sarcastic way of solving the Kashmir issue. In a Facebook post, Katju suggested that Pakistan can get Kashmir if they agree to take Bihar also as a part of a package.
“Pakistanis, let us end our dispute once and for all. We offer you Kashmir, but on the condition you also take Bihar. It is a package deal. You have to take the whole package or none at all. Either you take both Kashmir and Bihar, or nothing. We will not give you Kashmir alone. Deal?”.
According to Katju, the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had offered the same ‘deal’ to then Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf during his visit to Agra. But Musharraf “stupidly rejected it”. “Atal Bihari Vajpayee had offered this deal to Musharraf at the Agra Summit, but he stupidly rejected it. Now the offer is coming again,” he added.
Soon after Katju’s remarks, hundreds of users began posting their takes on the same.
“The soldiers of Bihar laid down their lives in the recent #UriAttack.I heard people saying so,but its confirm that it’s not Amitabh Bachann who has nothing in his head,its not the Indians 90% of whom are fools,but its you who are one trying his best to remain in news.You should join AAP,” an FB user wrote.
Later, Katju also offered a suggestion to those who have been offended by his post.
