Don’t reject
This refers to the fresh offer of dialogue to the Hurriyat by India. There is a huge pressure on India to initiate a dialogue with separatists. The entire world is closely watching the situation in Kashmir and is supporting Kashmiris. But here in Kashmir, when people are giving sacrifices for the movement, the separatists are divided. Rather than categorically denying the talks offer, separatists should put some pre-conditions before India like the repeal of AFSPA, demilitarization from civilian areas or release of political prisoners. By doing so the sincerity of India toward solving the Kashmir dispute would come to fore.
