Defence minister Rajnath Singh disclosed that in September 2016, four Opposition MPs attempted to engage with Hurriyat Conference leaders for peace talks in Kashmir, but were refused. This marks the first acknowledgment of such efforts by the central government during a period of unrest following militant commander Burhan Wani's death.
