No talks with separatists, at least for now says Arun Jaitley

Defence Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday ruled out any talks with the separatists in Jammu and Kashmir, at least for now.

“In this current atmosphere of violence, we will not hold talks with separatists who are instigating violence.”

Jaitley said the government will definitely talk to the people of Kashmir and would like to address their grievances.

Asked if this included Hurriyat, he said, “I am not saying that.”
