Srinagar, May 15:  Ashok Bhan, Chairman of the Kashmir (Policy and Strategy) Group, has urged the Union Government to initiate a meaningful and structured dialogue with all stakeholders, including the exiled Kashmiri Pandit community, to move towards a safe & dignified return of Kashmiri Pandits back home and for lasting resolution of the Kashmir imbroglio.  Speaking at the extended executive council of the group, he observed that sustainable peace and reconciliation in Jammu & Kashmir cannot emerge merely through administrative or security-centric measures, but require political outreach, democratic engagement, constitutional sensitivity and restoration of public confidence across communities. He stated that the continuing anger, alienation and political unrest among sections of the people in Kashmir underline the urgent necessity of rebuilding trust through dialogue and inclusive participation. According to him, the people of Jammu & Kashmir, particularly the younger generation, seek dignity, political empowerment, economic opportunities and reassurance that democratic institutions remain responsive to their aspirations.
