Hold talks with Separatists: Soz

Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, Jan 27: Former Union minister and veteran Congress leader Prof Saifuddin Soz has said that Governor must hold dialogue with Separatists.
In a press statement here Soz said, “Governor Satya Pal Malik, continuously advises Kashmiris on various matters of public importance. I would like to emphasize that the general run of Kashmiris understands how to find a way out of the current situation of unrest,” he added.
“The understandable proposition is that there exists a dispute and the solution to that can be found through a purposeful dialogue. Any other solution is a one-sided phenomenon and not workable in Kashmir. On his arrival to the State, Governor Malik had himself offered to open a dialogue with the people of Kashmir. I would earnestly suggest the Governor to initiate a dialogue with the separatists which is being specifically represented by the JRL. Malik could serve a great purpose for the country if he ensures the suggested dialogue, at the earliest,” Soz maintained.
