(Express photo: Ravi Kanojia/File)BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav on Saturday said the Centre’s pointsman for a dialogue with all parties concerned in Kashmir, Dineshwar Sharma, has the government’s mandate to talk to everyone, including separatist leaders if they come forward. “He (Sharma) will talk to all groups who want to talk,” Madhav told reporters in Srinagar, where the BJP is holding its state-level working committee meet. Asked whether the interlocutor will talk to the Hurriyat leadership, Madhav said the question should be posed to the separatist leadership if they are ready to talk.
