    As stated by the govt in LS there are no politicians in house arrest and everything is normal and freedom is restored in J&K and the state is on the path of opening businesses then it is time for opposition and journalists to go to J&K and make people to people contact. Govt should not have any objection to this unless the govt was lying in LS.
