Meanwhile, separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani has said that “in principle” he was for talks. Even after deadly conflicts and destructive wars, things are settled through dialogue only. However, the deceptive nature of talks, held around 150 times, has failed to yield results due to the unrealistic and arrogant attitude of India,” said Mr. Geelani. There is a growing voice from the regional parties to hold dialogue with separatists. Kashmir’s main Opposition party, the National Conference, called for inclusion of separatists in talks by the all-party delegation.
