Asserting that the dialogue is the only viable for medium for solving various vexed issues, the Jammu & Kashmir Minister for Rural Development Ali Mohammad Sagar has asked the separatists and other parties to come forward, so that a lasting solution can be found to the issues confronting the State. While addressing Gram Sabhas of twin districts of Jammu and Samba organized by the Department of Rural Development at Bhalwal (Jammu), the Minister lashed out at the separatists for holding government responsible for alleged Human Rights Violations. Mr. Sagar asked the separatists to go for an introspection reminding them it is the separatists who have made the life of the people of Kashmir Valley hell by resorting to frequent hartals and shutdowns , which have destroyed educational , social and economical set up of the State.
