An all-party delegation that recently visited Jammu and Kashmir requested the Centre and the state government on Wednesday to talk to all stakeholders in the violence-hit state where 75 people have died in two-month-long street protests. Home minister Rajnath Singh, who had led the team of politicians, indicated to some opposition leaders that the Centre was considering a panel for talks with all stakeholders, including the Hurriyat, sources said. The Centre blames Pakistan for the violence that erupted after militant leader Burhan Wani was killed in a gunfight in southern Kashmir on July 8. The Left leader’s demands are in line with Kashmir analysts who have called for confidence-building measures to bridge the trust deficit. — Omar Abdullah (@abdullah_omar) September 7, 2016Here’s the statement issued by the all-party team
