New Delhi: Centre's interlocutor on Kashmir N N Vohra has resigned from the post.

Vohra submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh two days back, a day after the new Government was sworn-in, official sources told reporters today (May 25, 2004).

Vohra, whose efforts had resulted in two rounds of talks between Hurriyat Conference and former Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani, quit the post citing that his appointment had been made by the previous NDA (National democratic Alliance) Government, they said.

The Congress-led Government is yet to take a decision on whether to continue with Vohra or appoint someone else to continue the dialogue process.

Vohra had been appointed as Centre's point-man in February 2003 to hold talks with various groups of Jammu and Kashmir to bring about peace in the State.
