November 15, 2004 ☼ Foreign Affairs
Today’s newspapers are full of reports of talks — from Assam ULFA sends word that it is willing to talk to New Delhi; in Kashmir the Hurriyat’s Mirwaiz is ready to talk to the Prime Minister; National Security Advisor JN Dixit is on his way to China to talk to them about border issues; he had already talked to Musharraf’s Man Friday secretly about the peace process; and Foreign Minister Natwar Singh is managing expectations about the talks during Shaukat Aziz’s forthcoming visit to India.
And yesterday, in Sri Lanka, the LTTE asked India to talk to its tiger-striped (parallel) administrators before commencing development projects.
Talk, certainly, is in the air!
