New Delhi, March 27
Centre’s special representative Dineshwar Sharma is more optimistic this time as he prepares to leave Delhi for Srinagar on Tuesday to hold his fresh round of talks in Kashmir, hoping that the things are better placed this time .
Sharma’s this visit comes against the backdrop of Ashraf Sehrai assuming the charge of the chairman of Tehreek-e-Hurryiat succeeding its founder chief Syed Ali Shah Geelani. The T-e-H is an important constituent of the Geelani faction of the Hurriyat Conference .
Geelani is feeling the heat after Sehrai’s son Junaid Ahmad Khan joined Hizb-ul-Mujahadeen , because this has placed Sehrai in the frontline of the spotlight among the separatists . The separatists are seeking to neutralize the shift in the secessionist politics by planning to spotlight other issues like prisoners’ “ plight” in Jammu and Kashmir and the arrest of the separatist leaders.
Sharma , it is learnt , would make yet another attempt to reach out to the separatists and Geelani may not be the only choice in his scheme of things.
