Dialogue writing on good governance
Answers
Arun Joshi
Arun JoshiLET me be very frank that the success of the upcoming dialogue on J&K depends solely on simultaneous start of good governance. Its lack is as old a problem as that of what we call “Kashmir crisis.” Those seeking a result-oriented dialogue should help in making governance effective and transparent. And, those in the government should see it as a supplement to the expected “sustained dialogue.” There cannot, and should not be, any excuses on this front.

That is a deliberate sign of inertia and promotion of corruption and incompetence. That has proved in the past, and it could prove now too, as a big hurdle in achieving the goal for which the talks are going to be held.

The apparent calm gets shattered by a malicious narrative that aims to provoke people to resort to violence and anti-India sentiment. This divisive mindset is aimed at vote bank politics.

He may take a long time to accomplish his assignment for no particular time frame has been fixed for negotiating the complex problem where things depend a lot on the state and non-state actors from across the Line of Control.
