| Don’t give ball by ball commentary: PC to interlocutors | | | ET DESK
NEW DELHI, Nov 1: Asserting that interlocutors appointed by the government have changed the discourse on Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram, however, has asked the former not to give a "ball-by-ball commentary" about the re-initiated dialogue process in Jammu and Kashmir.
In the monthly review of the working of his ministry, Chidambaram, said the interlocutors "have changed the discourse on Jammu and Kashmir".
"The media should not ask such questions and the interlocutors should not give a ball-by-ball commentary. This is interlocution not a cricket match," Chidambaram told reporters here.
"... I sincerely hope the people of Jammu and Kashmir will give peace a chance and dialogue a chance".
Chidambaram’s remarks came a day after one of the three interlocutors, Dileep Padgaonkar, stirred a hornet’s nest following an announcement on an electronic television news channel that some militants could submit a peace plan to them on their next visit to the state.
Padgaonkar told a TV channel that a member from a militant outfit told them during their recent trip to the valley that they would "like to submit a peace plan also to us".
The three interlocutors -- Padgaonkar, Radha Kumar and M M Ansari -- were appointed by the Home Ministry last month for a "serious dialogue to find a political solution" to the problems in the state rocked by violent protests since June.
He said the situation in the Kashmir Valley where nearly 111 persons have been killed, mostly in firing by forces on protestors, was "returning to normal - almost".
"But it is too early to say everything is normal. Since the visit of the all-party delegation there is a sense of expectation that political problems will be addressed in all its seriousness," Chidambaram added.
