Yashwant Sinha calls for immediate dialogue with Kashmir separatists

Srinagar/April 12:  Senior BJP leader and former union minister Yashwant Sinha on Wednesday called on the Centre to immediately start a dialogue with separatists to “bring peace to the valley”.
“Talks with separatists are imperative to attaining peace in the Valley. These days’ the people get branded as anti-nationals for simply talking to the separatists. So, does that make Atal Bihari Vajpayee an anti-national too since he started the trend. Is Advani also an anti national in that case?” Sinha was quoted as saying by the Business Standard. Taking a dig at the NDA Government, Sinha said that the trend of “labeling” people as “anti-national” who talk with the separatists would not bear any fruit.
“Peace will return through talks. All Kashmir stakeholders must be involved in talks as was promised by the BJP and PDP,” he said.
