Militia Leader Hints at Resumption of Talks on Kashmir
Senior Hurriyat leader Abdul Gani Lone Sunday indicated at a party meeting held in Srinagar, Kashmir, that talks to solve the Kashmir issue could be resumed in the near future.
Referring to scuttled talks between the government and Hizbul Mujahideen, he said it was not an ordinary development that right wing BJP agreed to talk to a militant outfit.
This development proved beyond doubt that meaningful dialogue could be resumed in future to solve the Kashmir issue once for all, Lone said.
However, he did not spell out who could participate in talks.
Criticizing India for not agreeing to involve Pakistan in the talks to resolve Kashmir issue, Lone said it was India which made Pakistan a party to the issue by talking the Kashmir issue to the United Nations.
Pakistan's involvement in the talks to resolve Kashmir issue is all the more necessary as one third of the territory of Jammu and Kashmir is under its occupation, Lone said.
According to the Press Trust of India, Lone clarified that Hurriyat had no role in sabotaging the talks between the government and Hizbul Mujahideen as claimed by New Delhi.
