Photo: PTINew Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah has ruled out dialogue on the Kashmir issue until stone-pelting ends, but insisted that the government will talk to everyone once violence ends. For the first time, he has said, Jammu and Ladakh, two other regions in the state besides Kashmir, believe that they have got “justice”. “You cannot assess the situation in Kashmir by picking one stretch of six months. There have been many stretches of six months, eight months or one year when the situation has been hot before our security forces controlled it,” he said. Kashmir has been witnessing frequent clashes between security forces and stone-pelting mobs in the past few months.
