While the National Conference strongly feels that the UPA Government is committed to the peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue, the statement of Fotedar has put a huge question mark on the sincerity of the union government towards finding a peaceful resolution  to the Kashmir Issue”, Beg maintained. The Member Parliament said "Working groups were constituted  to address both development and political aspirations of the people of J&K. Fotedar’s statement that the Working Group were there to satisfy development aspirations
