Doda (Jammu), Nov 06: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said the process of dialogue should involve a wide spectrum of separatist groups and others to find an amicable solution to the Kashmir issue. "The dialogue should not be exclusively for one group but it should cover all groups as the problem can be resolved only with the involvement of everyone," Sayeed said addressing a public meeting here this afternoon.
Asking militants to shun the path of violence, Sayeed asked them why they are killing their own people. He referred to the killing of PDP leader Gul Bab at Pampore two days ago and said that the hapless family left behind has three disabled girls. He said it is time that they should leave the gun and come on the negotiation table.
The Chief Minister said when his government started saying that separatists should be involved in the dialogue, everyone ridiculed it. He said we spoke about peace with dignity but nobody took it seriously. Now, we have made the headway and the process of dialogue has picked up.
He said the level of negotiations and dialogue has been raised to the level of Deputy Prime Minister. He, however, cautioned that the problem could not be sorted out at one go and will take time to reach to some solution. Bureau Report
