Srinagar: The Centre’s interlocutors on Jammu and Kashmir, who are arriving here on May 15 for their seventh visit, will submit there interim report to the Union Home Ministry soon. Noted academician and one of the interlocutors, Radha Kumar, told KNS that that they would submit interim report of last six-months to Home Ministry soon. “Though we submit report every month about the Confidence Building Measures, it will be six-month review report.”
Dismissing media reports that interlocutors have failed to submit the final report within stipulated time, Radha said, “It (final report) about political contours will take some more time. It can’t be prepared in six-months. Kashmir is 63-year old problem and how can it be solved in six-months.” “There are different stakeholders involved and we have to take everybody’s opinion into account,” she added.
Radha said that they have gone through constitution of undivided Hurriyat Conference, Geelani’s five demand, Mirwaiz’s four demands and Yasin Malik’s demands. “As none of them met us personally we have taken there point of view into account by going through their demands which they make in media. There is a need for consensus building and we are trying for it,” she told KNS.
Asked whether they would meet the separatist leaders in their coming visit, she said, “Our efforts are on to make a breakthrough. But I can’t divulge all the details.”
Asked to comment about Kashmir Committee head, Ram Jethmalani’s statement that interlocutors haven’t been able to meet separatists, she said, “There is no comparison between them (Kashmir Committee) and us (interlocutors) They are from civil society and we are government appointed. May be separatists will have no problem in meeting them, but they have meeting us.”
