Srinagar, Oct 22: Describing the appointment of Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani to hold talks with the Hurriyat Conference on the Kashmir problem as a "golden opportunity", Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today expressed hope that the separatists will respond positively to the development. Sayeed said it was the "happiest day" for him since coming to power last year as the demand of the people for talks at the highest level had been fulfilled.
He said the separatists should not miss the opportunity for restoring peace in the state as the Centre has offered unconditional dialogue. Bureau Report
