| 'No Point Going To Meet Apple Growe |
| 'No Point Going To Meet Apple Growers' - What Went Down At Kashmir All-Party Meet

| No point going all the way to Kashmir just to meet apple growers." This acerbic comment from an opposition leader to Home Minister Rajnath Singh exposed the fault lines within the all-party delegation ahead of its two- day visit to the troubled state. At an argumentative preparatory meeting in Delhi, the government and the opposition leaders brainstormed and often disagreed over the best approach in bringing a healing touch to a wounded Valley.
The key debate was whether the delegates should meet with separatists and secessionists - those who demand "Azaadi" from the Indian union, represented by the Hurriyat Conference.
At least four senior leaders, Sitaram Yechury of the CPM, D Raja of the CPI, Asaduddin Owaisi of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen and Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, batted in favour of inviting the Hurriyat for talks.
