MUDDASIR ALI

Srinagar, Apr 29: Day after New Delhi said it won’t engage separatists, Nation-al Conference President Farooq Abdullah termed the Government of India’s stand as “extremely dangerous for Kashmir” while reiterating that there was no alternative to dialogue.

“I want to make one thing clear to them (New Delhi) that dialogue is a must; there is no alternative to talks. The stand of Government of India (of not holding talks with separatist) is extreme-ly dangerous for future of Kashmir,” Abdullah, who is MP from Srinagar, told party leaders and workers at NC headquarter here.

On Friday the Govern-ment of India made it clear before the Supreme Court that it would come to nego-tiating table only if the “rec-ognized parties” participate in the dialogue on Kashmir, and not the separatist ele-ments. Attorney General

Mukul Rohatgi made the submissions before a bench, comprising Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justices D Y Chandrachud and S K Kaul.

“After her (recent) meet-ing with Prime Minister, the Chief Minister Mehboo-ba Mufti stressed upon the need for resuming dialogue calming that she would give up chair if talks are not held. But just two days later, her alliance partner rejected to hold talks with the separat-ists, in the Supreme Court. Had the PDP been sincere in its intentions Mehbooba Mufti would have given up
