Jammu: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Jammu and Kashmir has strongly opposed
the Centre's interlocutor N N Vohra talking to separatist groups, which do not abide
by Indian Constitution and wage war against the country.
BJP state unit president Nirmal Singh, while talking to reporters on April 21
evening, said the party strongly opposes holding of dialogue with secessionist
elements and expressed hope that the Centre's interlocutor would fulfil the party's
demand by not holding talk with such elements.
Vohra, who is on a weeklong visit to the state, should also take into consideration
the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Ladakh region as they have been subjected
to regional discrimination by successive governments since 1947, he alleged.
Advocating the cause of Jammu and Ladakh regions, the regional BJP chief said there
was a need to change the Kashmir-centric set up, as it the basic cause of friction
between Kashmiris and Jammuites.
