(Source: Reuters)Grant of autonomy, holding plebiscite and initiating a dialogue with separatists as well as Pakistan were some of the key demands placed before the All Party Delegation (APD) which visited Jammu and Kashmir on September 4-5. According to a note, which was prepared by the Home Ministry, these were among the issues raised by various political parties and organisations before the All Party Delegation. The delegation was told that the autonomy resolution passed by the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly in 2000 should be implemented. Various political parties and organisations conveyed to the law makers that if the current agitation, which started after the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani on July 8, continues, the mainstream society will become weaker.
