JOIN USBJP president Amit Shah on Sunday ruled out any dialogue with stakeholders in Kashmir until violence ends.
The Valley has been witnessing a prolonged spell of disturbing stone pelting at security forces.
“Once violence ends and an atmosphere of dialogue is created, we will talk to every one,” Shah told a news agency.
At an informal media interaction on Sunday to commemorate the Modi government’s third anniversary, a top BJP leader stated that “dialogue cannot happen with people carrying stones in their hands”.
The party’s stand, which resonates the government’s line, runs contrary to track two diplomacy of a delegation, that has Congress members as well, which met the Hurriyat leaders recently.
A senior BJP leader said that the government has found a solution for the complex Kashmir problem and efforts were being made in that direction.
Assuring that the situation will be brought under control in a couple of months, the top leader stressed that the Centre will continue to “act tough” to contain insurgency as was reflected in the encounter of top Hizbul commander Sabzar Ahmad Bhat, an aide of slain militant Burhan Wani.
Party sources claimed that there was no threat to the PDP-BJP government and it would last its full term, discounting possibility of President’s rule to bring back peace in the Valley.
