By IANSMonday, October 25, 2010
JAMMU - Two of the three interlocutors, currently visiting the Kashmir Valley, will be arriving in Jammu on Wednesday, according to official sources.
Dilip Padganokar and Radha Kumar would be visiting Jammu, while the third interlocutor, M.M. Ansari, would be leaving for New Delhi, the sources said Monday.
The trio is on its first visit of Jammu and Kashmir after being named as interlocutors on Oct 13.
In Jammu, the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party has rejected the interlocutors.
It is not known what would be the attitude of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), especially after Padgaonkar described Kashmir as a “dispute” and also named Pakistan as a party to the “dispute”.
According to sources, the BJP may not meet with the interlocutors. A final decision, however is awaited.
Some of the National Conference and Congress leaders are reportedly annoyed with Padgaonkar’s remarks, though they are not making it public.
