Hurriyat hawk Syed Ali Shah Geelani, who opposes any dialogue with New Delhi over Kashmir, thinks only the external dimension of the issue can settle the Kashmir imbroglio. He expressed dismay over Prime Minister Manmohan Singhs lack of progress in dialogue with Pakistan. The Kashmiri aam admi doesnt seem to share Geelanis view. They feel a BJP-led government can bring peace and prosperity. The complex Kashmir issue can neither be solved by parties in Kashmir valley nor by the announcement of frequent bandhs and strikes, but by talks with stakeholders including Kashmiris. But overall, the confidence building measures that got diluted under the UPA need to be revived, said Mohammad Sidiq Bangroo, a political analyst in Srinagar.
