New Delhi: Even as the Hurriyat Conference adopted a cautious approach on the Centre's offer for dialogue, Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani on October 24 said the government had no problems in talking to the amalgam leadership, but made it clear that there would be no compromise on the country's "unity and sovereignty".

"We have no problems in talking to Hurriyat. We have been talking to Bodo and Naga groups and we can as well hold talks with it. But there will be no compromise on the country's unity and sovereignty," Advani, who will be holding talks with the Hurriyat, said at the 42nd Raising Day celebrations of Indo- Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).

The government was willing to hold talks on "decentralisation" of power, Advani said without elaborating.
