Speaking to the media on the side lines of the Golf Cup here on Saturday Union New and Renewable Energy Minister Farooq Abdullah welcomed the

happy that Hurriyat want peaces talks. And we are hopeful that they will initiate
more steps towards peace," Abdullah said. "Now we will also help them, Centre
and State Government would hold talks with them. And by this way only normalcy
will also improve and Kashmir keeps on developing," he added. Union Health Minister
Ghulam Nabi Azad said that militancy in the insurgency-hit region is taking its
last breath but public efforts are required for maintaining peace. "If we want
to attract tourists both foreign and domestic, we have to create conducive environment
here. And that peaceful atmosphere can only be created when militancy ends here.
And I am happy that militancy is taking its last breath here but further common
