"Separatism I believe is dead now. It has become redundant. Like Article 370, separatism also is gone," Mr Dulat told PTI in an interview here on Saturday.
Former spymaster AS Dulat has said the separatism in Kashmir was "dead" but felt there was a need to start a dialogue with mainstream political parties in the Valley.
Mr Dulat, who was advisor on Jammu and Kashmir to the central government during the tenure of former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, also advocated the need for starting a dialogue with Pakistan.
"Separatism I believe is dead now. It has become redundant. Like Article 370, separatism also is gone," Mr Dulat told PTI in an interview here on Saturday.
He said Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who has been under house arrest since August 4, 2019, has a role in Kashmir politics.
