Srinagar, Nov 15 (IBNS): In his maiden visit to Kashmir after taking charge as a Minister of State for External Affairs, former Army Chief Gen (Retd) V K Singh on Saturday appealed Kashmir separatist leaders to come forward for a dialogue for betterment of Jammu and Kashmir.

Talking to IBNS in Srinagar, BJP leader said that there is no bar on separatist leaders to meet anybody.

"Anybody can come and meet us. The biggest problem is that they are not come forward," he said.

Singh added that his message to the people who are separatist is that they should come forward and engage with us.

"Come forward and let us find a way which should be good for Jammu and Kashmir," he said.

Responding on Machil Encounter, Minister said that Army has done its job and awarded punishment to the guilty.

"It is up to people to judge the decision of the Army. Army awarded judgment within four years while a Civil Court takes years in resolving such issues," he said.

That time is not ripe for the revocation of AFSPA. Let the Assembly elections be over and a time will come this law will be repealed," he said.
