New Delhi: India should “not shy away” from discussing Kashmir with Pakistan even if they make it their core issue for talks, according to A.S. Dulat, former chief of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and former Intelligence Bureau (IB) special director.
In an interview to ThePrint, Dulat, who served as an adviser on Kashmir in the Vajpayee PMO from January 2001 to May 2004, said Islamabad has reconciled with the fact that Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu & Kashmir, is gone. Even so, he added, Prime Minister Narendra Modi should reach out to Kashmiris, including their political representatives, and assure them that statehood will return and democratic processes resume.
