Jammu: Union Minister Jitendra Singh Thursday asserted that Dineshwar Sharma was not just an “interlocutor” but a “special representative” to carry out sustained dialogue process in the Valley.
The Centre had recently notified the appointment of Sharma, former director of the Intelligence Bureau, as its interlocutor for Jammu and Kashmir.
“Some people say that we have made a U-turn by initiating a dialogue (in Jammu and Kashmir with the appointment of Sharma). He is not an interlocutor, his appointment is to carry forward the process set into motion by (Union Home Minister) Rajnath Singh so that nobody can say tomorrow that a dialogue is not happening. Whoever wants to put forth his point can meet him,” he noted.
