Former Indian National Security Adviser M.K. Narayanan has stressed that India needs to reopen a dialogue with Pakistan. 

Addressing a function in Bengaluru, he advocated the resumption of political engagement by the Modi government with leadership in occupied Kashmir.

He said Indian government is running out of time diplomatically to explain its actions on the decision to amend Article 370 in occupied valley.

He said India is not united on prevailing situations in occupied Kashmir while the continuing detentions and the strictures on communication are also leading to misgivings about the situation.
