Only dialogue can resolve Kashmir: Chidambaram

New Delhi, Aug 6 (PTI): Observing that it wanted to "win the hearts and minds" of the people of Kashmir, the government today said it would resume dialogue and asked the separatists, including  Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, to join it.

Home Minister P Chidambaram told the Rajya Sabha that the Centre was keen on fulfilling its promises, including on the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and reduction of security personnel in the state, depending on the situation there.

He said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would be receiving an all-party delegation from Jammu and Kashmir, possibly next Monday, and that leaders of parties in Parliament would also be called for a meeting.
