New Delhi, Oct 24: Even as the Hurriyat Conference adopted a cautious approach on the Centre's offer for dialogue, Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani today said the government had no problems in talking to the amalgam leadership but made it clear that there would be no compromise on the country's "unity and sovereignty". "We have no problems in talking to Hurriyat. We have been talking to Bodo and Naga groups and we can as well hold talks with it. But there will be no compromise on the country's unity and sovereignty," Advani, who will be holding talks with the Hurriyat, said at the 42nd Raising Day celebrations of ITBP.

The government was willing to hold talks on "decentralisation" of power, Advani said without elaborating.

Advani said that some groups wanted the Centre's interlocutor N N Vohra to be replaced but "he has done a good job. He will not be removed."

"Vohra will continue as the Centre's interlocutor," Advani said.
