Dialogue offer must evoke positive response: Sartaj Madni
Welcoming the unconditional offer of dialogue from the Centre on Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party vice-president Sartaj Madni said it should evoke positive response from all those interested in ending the stalemate.
The Peoples Democratic Party leader was referring to BJP general secretary Ram Madhav’s statement on his arrival here.
The PDPleader said people of Jammu and Kashmir had been the worst sufferers of uncertainty and instability arising out of contentious issues and confrontation.
“Now is the time that reconciliatory gestures from New Delhi are not put to any doubt and all stakeholders extend a helping hand in restoring the process of dialogue for sustainable peace and conflict resolution,” Madni said in a statement.
Madni said the fresh offer had a context and needed to be seen as a sincere and honest initiative aimed at getting the state out of a crisis.
