Talks with every section in the state to be result oriented: CM

Written By DNA Web Team | Updated:

Union Home minister P Chidambaram last week announced here that the government will hold dialogue with all sections of political opinion to formulate contours of a solution in J&K.

The proposed talks between the Centre and every section of political opinion in Jammu and Kashmir to find a solution to the Kashmir issue will be result-oriented, state chief minister Omar Abdullah today said.

"The Centre is initiating a political dialogue in the state. The previous such rounds have failed. We have realised past mistakes and the proposed talks would be result-oriented and taken to logical conclusion," Abdullah said while addressing police commemoration day at Zewan, 20 kms from here, in Pulwama district today.

Union Home minister P Chidambaram last week announced here that the government will hold dialogue with all sections of political opinion to formulate contours of a solution in Jammu and Kashmir but made it clear that the talks would be held away from the media glare.

Omar also called for resumption of India-Pakistan talks stalled in the wake of Mumbai terror attack.  Abdullah also urged the militants to shun the guns as innocent people get killed in violence.

"All the guns... here and there should be stopped as gun is no solution to any problem. All issues in the world have been resolved through dialogue," he said.

On the occasion, Omar complimented the police and central forces for their efforts in maintaining peace and security in the state. However, he warned that human rights violations would not be tolerated.

"The jawans and officers of the forces need to respect their uniform and oath to protect the lives and properties of the people. We will not tolerate violation of human rights," he said.

Referring to the alleged rape and murder of two women in Shopian and murder of son of a former legislator in Jammu, Abdullah said "misuse of uniform by some police personnel have tarnished the image of entire police force".

However, Abdullah said it was wrong to paint the entire force in red for wrong doings of some officers or jawans.
