Dialogue only way to address all issues: ANC

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Oct 26: Mainta-ining that violence will not help resolve issues, the Awami National Conference (ANC)  today said that peace and dialogue is the only way forward towards addressing issues of all natures.
ANC Provincial President, Gian Singh  today hailed a five-member delegation led by senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha who met separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani at his residence in Srinagar – in a fresh bid at breaking a logjam after more than three months of deadly unrest in the Kashmir Valley.
Singh appealed both Union and State Governments to ensure that a credible mechanism for dialogue, reconciliation and resolution is put in place and it should not be like the half-hearted efforts made in similar situations after 2008 and 2010 unrests. He said violence has changed nothing on political spectrum of Jammu and Kashmir over the years and has only brought mayhem, miseries, economic disaster, academic breakdown and social disorder to the State.
