People from all walks of life have established communication with the interlocutor and feel satisfied on the grievance redressal mechanism. is a clear indication that all stake holders will make peace a common cause and allow the initiative to culminate into real hope and promise,” he added.
“Governor’s appeal to separatists is an honest assurance on the intentions of Mehbooba-led Government to collectively work for meaningful resolution of issues which meets the aspirations of stake holders. The offer needs to be taken as another big trust-building measure which should motivate everyone to participate in the process without harboring any doubts,”
