Make Centre’s ‘sustained dialogue’ successful, Mehbooba tells state police

MANIGAM: Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today asked the State police to play a positive role in ensuring that the Centre’s initiative of holding a “sustained dialogue” through its newly-appointed interlocutor was a success.

Addressing a gathering at the passing out parade of 696 constables from the Police Training School here, she said the police played a crucial role in creating a suitable atmosphere for the talks.

The Centre on Monday appointed former IB chief Dineshwar Sharma as its special representative for a “sustained dialogue” with all stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir.

The police, the Chief Minister said, had a most important role in making this “reconciliation programme” successful. (AGENCIES)
