Separatists should have put across an implementable roadmap for resolution of Kashmir issue instead of shying away from meeting the all-party delegation and being “caught in darkness“, J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti has said.
She also voiced hope that the central government will initiate an inclusive engagement through an institutionalised mechanism to address the Kashmir issue and the separatists will respond positively to it. “Instead of being caught in darkness, the separatists should have met the members of the all-party delegation and put across an implementable roadmap for the resolution of the (Kashmir) issue,“ she was quoted as saying at a function here on Friday in a government statement.
She said that “by shying away from talks, a message has gone around that the separatists are not interested in ending peoples miseries by coming forward for peaceful resolution of the issue“, according to the statement.
