The BJP said the Hurriyat leaders would be isolated if they did not participate in the peace process.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary and member of all-party delegation Sitaram Yechury on Monday said the State and Central governments would have to take the political dialogue forward now.
Yechury has said that Hurriyat leaders were unwilling to hold talks with the delegation members. Yechury, Janata Dal (United) member Sharad Yadav, CPI leader D Raja and CPI (M) MLA Yousuf Tarigami, all of them parts of the all-party delegation, had gone to meet the separatist leaders on Sunday.
"Things were different last time, but this time separatists took a stand that they won’t talk," Union Minister RV Paswan told ANI on Monday.
The all-party delegation will visit Jammu on Monday after meeting different civil society delegations in Srinagar in the morning.
The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday said the Hurriyat leaders would be isolated if they did not participate in the peace process of Kashmir by holding talks with the all-party delegation as all other parties would collaborate on the issue.
"The Indian Government wants that all parties and stakeholders should come together and hold discussions, but if Geelaniji (Syed Ali Shah Geelani) feels that he should not talk, he could do what he feels is suitable. But, he will clearly be pushed to the corner because all parties are going to unite on the Kashmir issue," BJP spokesperson Shaina NC told ANI. She said the all-party delegation is a positive indication and a hand sent out by the Indian Government to push for peace in the Valley.
Hurriyat leaders SAS Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Sunday refused to meet a group of the all-party delegation, who arrived in Srinagar to hold meetings with all the stakeholders in the state. However, Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front chief Yasin Malik met with the delegation.
The separatists had rejected Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti's invitation for talks with the all-party delegation.
