Govt finalises 3 interlocutors-Kashmir peace

As part of the eight-point peace package for Kashmir, the Centre has finalised a three-member team of interlocutors to be appointed for a renewed dialogue with separatist leaders in the trouble-torn Valley, on the boil for the past few months, and asked people of Kashmir to engage with them.

Famous journalist Dileep Padgaonkar will be the chief interlocutor whereas Information Commissioner M M Ansari and academic Prof Radha Kumar will be other two members of the team.

Mr Padgaonkar was member of the Kashmir Committee headed by eminent lawyer Ram Jethmalani.

Radha Kumar, who heads the Nelson Mandela Institute of Peace in Jamia Millia Islamia, was engaged in discussions with 'moderate' Hurriyat chief Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani.

Noted educationist and economist Ansari was a professor and director at the Hamdard University before becoming the Information Commissioner.
