When asked what will be their suggestion to the Central Government for the restoration of peace in the valley, Sharma said, "There are some people, who want to disturb harmony in the Jammu reason as well. Considering the importance of the situation, we will go there and try to get a central representative here."

Asked would he suggest holding talks with Hurriyat, he said, "Anybody who considers himself Indian and believes that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, talks should be held with them."

When asked repeatedly that what measures he would propose to the Centre for the restoration of peace, he said, "As I have said some people are there who are trying to sabotage the peace process. Taking them into account we will hold talks with the Centre."
