Yasin Malik didn't. What made you tell your story to your biographer, Aditya Sinha?
Most biographies suffer from half-truths. Have you been completely honest?
The book doesn't explore your personal life. Why?
Was your family supportive of what you were doing, especially when the whole matter of the kidnapped Swedes became a big issue?
What was the rationale behind your joining the National Conference?
Shabir Shah was one of your earliest influences. Are you still in touch?
Do you feel the National Conference has the political will to bring peace to the Valley?
Which militant outfits are you still in contact with?
But now that there are mercenaries in the Valley, how can the situation be brought under control?
Your family has traditionally supported the National Conference. Is that why you decided to join them?
