While chairman of the moderate faction of the Hurriyat Conference Mirwaiz Umar Farooq today termed the ongoing ministerial-level talks between India and Pakistan as ‘a chance to open a new chapter’, hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani said it was a ‘time-pass’ exercise.
“It is a golden chance to open a new chapter in the Indo-Pak ties….we have always stood for meaningful talks, as impediments in the resolution of issues will not be removed as long as the relations between the two countries improve,” the Mirwaiz said in his sermon before the Friday prayers at the historic Jamia Masjid in downtown area of Srinagar.
He made the comments in view of External Affairs Minister SM Krishna’s three-day visit to Pakistan, which began today, where he is holding talks with his counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar and other leaders.
The Mirwaiz also welcomed Khar’s statement where she reportedly said Hurriyat leadership should be included in the dialogue process.
He said a delegation of the conglomerate would visit Pakistan next month on Khar’s invitation.
Asserting that only tripartite talks would resolve the Kashmir issue, he said India should exhibit “shift in stance” and take steps towards withdrawal of troops, abrogation of ‘black’ laws, release of political prisoners and curb alleged human rights violations.
Geelani said the talks process was a ‘time-pass’ exercise and that Pakistan would ‘see India’s insincerity’ as it sat on the negotiating table. He also told leaders of the neighbouring countries that any readymade solution without their (stakeholders in Kashmir) participation was unacceptable to people.
Asserting that his amalgam was not against the Indo-Pak talks, Geelani said there had been no headway in the past “150 plus” dialogue processes due to India’s “rigid stand”.
Regretting that Pakistan was not vociferously taking up the Kashmir issue, he appealed to the neighbouring country to ‘make it clear’ to India that no headway was possible in the dialogue process as long it bypassed the Kashmir issue.
Geelani said Pakistan’s decision to grant the most favoured nation status to India was like ‘adding salt to injuries of Kashmiris’.
