Jammu | Aug 1
Leaving little for the Governor NN Vohra to negotiate for resolving the ongoing crisis, the Shri Amarnath Yatra Sangharsh Samiti today backed out of the dialogue with government and made it clear that restoration of land is the only precondition for resuming the talks.
Sources said that the Samiti came under intense public pressure for holding talks with the government as they apprehended mere wastage of time. hundreds of protestors gathered around the residents of Samiti leaders after last evening’s talks with the Governor and asked them make land restoration a precondition for talks.
Following these developments the Shri Amarnath Yatra Sangarsh Samiti a conglomerate of 30 groups spearheading an agitation for allocation of land to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board, Friday decided not to have further talks with Jammu and Kashmir Governor NN Vohra. The first round of talks Thursday had ended in a stalemate.
"It is pointless to talk to the governor again unless he sends us a concrete proposal on the land issue," Tilak Raj Sharma, spokesperson for AYSS, told the media.
Sharma had earlier said that they would continue with their agitation until their goal is achieved and simultaneously hold talks as well. But, the change of mind came after several hundred protesters gathered around the houses of Tilak Raj and Sangarsh Samiti convenor Leela Karan asking them to get the land before talking. Mediapersons were hurriedly called to be informed that the talks had broken down. "Talks have failed," said Sharma.
Although the governor has called a meeting of prominent residents of Jammu and also of the leaders of all parties, the agitation leaders have warned them against "making any compromise".
