SRINAGAR: A four-member-delegation, led by former BJP minister Y ash want Sin ha arrived on a twoday visit to Kashmir beginning on Thursday, with an aim to talk and discuss with all the possible stake-holders on how to return peace in the Valley.

“We will be meeting the CM, representa­tives of different political parties. We will also meet the members of civil society, youths and talk to as many people as possible, to know how to bring peace here,” Sinha said.

Sinha told reporters that their visit was in continuati­on of the peace mission for which they had visited Kashmir twice before. The delegation met National Conference leaders and was on their way to Kupwara to talk to the people there, he added.

Sin ha added ,“What is the hesitation in talking to own people? Dialogue is the only way out.”

He did not answer clearly whether or not he will be meeting with any separatist leader. The former minister had headed a political group of eminent citizens that visited Kashmir twice last year for initiating talks with the separatist­s and other groups.
