March 4th, 2011 - 4:14 pm ICT by IANS
Jammu, March 4 (IANS) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Friday said sustained dialogue with all sections of people in Jammu and Kashmir was the only way forward to resolving the problems of the state.
Speaking at a convocation of the Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology here, he said: “A group of interlocutors was appointed to facilitate a continuous dialogue with all sections of the people of the state.
“There is no way forward but sustained dialogue and the resolution of all problems under a constitutional framework that I believe has the flexibility to accommodate honourable and durable solutions for all.”
Manmohan Singh, who is on a daylong visit to Jammu, said: “We recognise there are genuine political, social and emotional grievances of the people. We are trying honestly to address these issues.”
Referring to the visit of the all party delegation to Jammu and Kashmir last year, he said it was “intended to bring about a national consensus on some of the important problems of the state”.
“The problems of Jammu and Kashmir are complex and each of the regions of the state - whether it is Kashmir, Jammu or Ladakh — have their own problems which require attention,” he said.
