<p>Former union home minister P Chidambaram posted a total of nine tweets on Kashmir on Sunday -- the gist of his argument being that the government&#39;s &quot;hard, militaristic&quot; approach in the state was not working.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;From time to time we are rudely reminded that there is an issue concerning the state of Jammu &amp; Kashmir,&quot; he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;The last reminder,&quot; he said, &quot;came on the night of 30-31 December 2017, when militants attacked the CRPF Training Centre at Lethpora in Pulwama district killing five CRPF personnel and injuring three.&quot;</p>

<p>Chidambaram also referred to the appointment by the government of Dineshwar Sharma as interlocutor on Kashmir.</p>

<p>&quot;...but his (Sharma&#39;s) mandate was not clear,&quot; Chidambaram said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chidambaram finally went on to say that &quot;If you are one of those who had thought that the hard, muscular, militaristic approach of the government should be given a chance, please look at the table once again. You may change your view.&quot;</p>
