Be part of dialogue, Omar tells separatists

Jammu: Asking the separatists to become part of the J&K dialogue process by utilising the institution of interlocutors, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday said they should make use of the present conducive atmosphere for dialogue to address political issues.

“I hope that you will become part of dialogue and contribute to a better future for the State,” he said in his Republic Day address. “The institution of interlocutors, created by the Union government for interaction with all shades of opinion, should be utilised earnestly to find a solution to the issues.” Mr. Abdullah also appealed to the separatists to rise to the occasion and play their role in bringing about peace and tranquillity in the State.

The Chief Minister reminded the people of the loss of precious lives and property during the period of militancy and the five months of summer unrest last year, and said violence never solved any problem. — PTI
