Days after PCI chief Markandey Katju favoured reunification of India and Pakistan to resolve the Kashmir issue, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid has cautioned against picking up issues which may raise people's emotions unnecessarily.
"Justice Katju has freedom to say a lot of things but I don't have. We cannot talk about something like reversing history because that can only be done if everyone speaks that way...We should not pick up something that once again raises people's emotions unnecessarily," he said.
"But he is a visionary and he is a person who has his own ways and it's interesting to hear what he says," Khurshid told said yesterday on the sidelines of a function when asked to comment on Katju's views.
