Pakistan has made a decision to propose to India exclusive dialogue on Kashmir.

During the discussion, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said, “When we were in power we tried to find solution to the Kashmir issue but we did not fully succeed”.

Nearly all political parties wants that the government should start a dialogue process with the people of the Kashmir Valley and send a delegation to hold talks with people of Kashmir.

Quoting PM Modi, Rajnath Singh said, “The Prime Minister has said that the time has come for Pakistan to answer the world, on atrocities against people in Balochistan & PoK”.

Briefing reporters on about an envoys conference held in Islamabad during August 1-3 to discuss Pakistan’s major foreign policy challenges, Aziz also said Pakistan is ready to sign an agreement with India on a bilateral moratorium on nuclear tests.

Responding to question regarding letters written by Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Prince Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, urging their intervention in Kashmir, Swarup said these letters will not whitewash cross-border terrorism. “The Government expects constructive support from all Opposition parties on this”. But, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who was flanked by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley at a news conference, said before sending such a team, the state government has to undertake some ground work.

“We have to see the security implication as well as an alternative option”. I have full sympathies with their families.

“It is equally an imperative that urgent steps are taken to restore order and peace for the alleviation of the sufferings of the people”.

Sitaram Yechury of CPI said, “Start the dialogue process with all stakeholders”.

“No decision on all-party delegation to Jammu & Kashmir as of now”. Security forces have been asked to maintain utmost restraint in the State. Decision to call separatists and Hurriyat for talks will be evaluated by the Government according to the prevailing situation.

“It was impressed upon the leaders that the issue was more than violation of Section 144 by a section of youth. that the imprints of ISIS-inspired religious extremism can no longer be brushed under the carpet”, said a source present at the meeting, on Jaitley’s speech.
