NEW DELHI, May 11 (Agencies): The Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Thursday said the proposal to hold a non governmental conference in Delhi was an attempt to seek a "unified voice" on resolving unrest in the Kashmir valley, a media report said.
"Out attempt will be to make it an all-party Kind of gathering. We all should take initiative to solve problem of Kashmir. We are inviting all experts and members of different delegation which have visited Kashmir. We are exploring the possibility of inviting some political leaders and experts from Kashmir," he was quoted as saying by Business Standard.
