New Delhi: Former Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Monday said that with the appointment of an interlocutor for Indian-administered Kashmir, the government has admitted that its"muscular approach"has failed in the state.
"From no-talks to talks-with-all-stakeholders is a major victory for those who had strongly argued for a political solution in Indian-administered Kashmir.
"With the appointment of an interlocutor, I hope the government has finally admitted muscular approach has failed,"he tweeted.
Chidambaram was reacting to Home Minister Rajnath Singh's announcement of beginning a dialogue process in the state. The Home Minister also said the Centre had appointed former Intelligence Bureau Director Dineshwar Sharma as its interlocutor with a mandate to talk to"anyone he wants to".
