New Delhi, Oct. 24 (TNS): After using pellets guns and full force against innocent Kashmiris, New Delhi now decided on a “sustained dialogue” with all stakeholders to help resolve the vexed issue. Indian government named Dineshwar Sharma, a former Intelligence Bureau chief, as its special representative to initiate the talks. Announcing this, Indian home minister Rajnath Singh said the representative will decide on whom to have a dialogue with, including separatists and Hurriyat hardliners. The home minister also clarified that Mr Sharma, who would hold the rank of cabinet secretary, would have complete independence in deciding who to hold talks with. Mr Singh claimed that the Centre has shown complete conviction and consistency in handling the Kashmir issue and the appointment of an interlocutor was part of taking forward the same policy.
