'Muscular' policy will not resolve Kashmir: Chidambaram

NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram today said he hoped the Central Government, by announcing a peace initiative in Jammu and Kashmir, was finally admitting that its “muscular approach” to the Valley’s problems had failed.

“With appointment of interlocutor, I hope Government has finally admitted ‘muscular approach’ has failed in J&K,” Chidambaram tweeted after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said a sustained dialogue would be initiated by the Government for a solution to the Kashmir issue. (AGENCIES)
