SRINAGAR: Dialogue with separatists cannot be held at gunpoint, and they should help to create a conducive atmosphere by dissociating themselves from the ongoing violence in the Valley, Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh said today.
Singh said the PDP-BJP Agenda of Alliance (AoA) spoke of facilitating talks as “dialogue is the only way.
“But talks cannot be held at gunpoint. Talks cannot happen by exerting pressure, by killing innocents, attacking pilgrims or police officers of J&K.”
“People who want to talk should come forward and say that they are ready and should dissociate themselves from this,” Singh told reporters here. (AGENCIES)
