Majority for peaceful means for solving Kashmir problem: Team

Jammu/Srinagar:  Centre's interlocutors on Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday said majority of the organisations and groups they met during their visits to the state favoured peaceful means for arriving at a political solution to the Kashmir problem.

These organisations were of the opinion that violence should not be allowed to scuttle such an exercise, journalist Dileep Padgaonkar, heading the team of interlocutors, told reporters in Jammu.

Though various delegations gave diverse opinions, they were broadly of the view that a solution to the Kashmir issue should be found through peaceful means, he said.

"The groups are also of the view that the solution should be acceptable to the people and all the three regions of the state," Padgaonkar said.

Flanked by two other interlocutors – academician Radha Kumar and former Central Information Commissioner M M Ansari, he said any settlement should rest on the pillars of democracy and the rule of law.
