| 2 months on, Centre fails to make K-interlocutors report public | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, Dec 2 (KNS):Almost two months since the centre’s interlocutors on Kashmir submitted their report to Union Home Ministry, the recommendations are yet to be made public.
“It is unfortunate as seven weeks have passed since we submitted the report to the centre,” renowned journalist and Chief Interlocutor, Dilip Padgonkar told KNS over phone.
“Why isn’t (Chief Minister) Omar Abdullah, (PDP patron) Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and (CPI-M State Secretary) M Y Tarigami asking New Delhi that why the report isn’t being made public. We submitted the report within the time frame,” he added.
The Chief Interlocutor told KNS that he went to Pune immediately after submitting the report. “I’m still in Pune, but once I will be back in Delhi I will take up the issue with the Home Ministry,” he added.
Asked to comment on apprehension of separatists that the report will be thrown to the dustbin, he said, “I can’t comment on it. But people of the state cooperated with us and now it is turn of New Delhi to act.”
To a question that credibility of interlocutors was at stake, Padgonkar said, “It is not true. Questions would have been raised if we had failed to submit the report. We did our work honestly.”
Among other things, sources told KNS, the three interlocutors had recommended that the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act should be revoked from the state “in consultation with the army and other stakeholders.”
The Chief Minister has also announced his “intention” to revoke the draconian law from certain areas of the state. However, his efforts have been stonewalled by the army and some political groups.
