Geelani declines Pak invite

The hardline faction of the Hurriyat Conference led by Syed Ali Geelani today rejected the invite for the Pakistan visit, saying its leaders will not go there merely to “decorate newspapers for a few days and take part in photo sessions”.

The separatist amalgam’s spokesman said Pakistan had accepted Kashmir’s right to self-determination and had been extending “moral, political and diplomatic support”.

“The real dispute of Kashmiris is with the Government of India,” Hurriyat spokesman Ayaz Akbar said, quoting the minutes of the meeting.

He said the decision not to visit Pakistan was taken during a two-day executive body meeting of the amalgam which was chaired by Geelani.



“It was decided in the meeting that since the Pakistan government and people are fully aware of the Kashmiri people’s stand, aspiration and sacrifices, so instead of the Hurriyat Conference’s Pakistan visit it is important for the leadership to continue with its fight without changing its stand,” the spokesman said.


The hardline Hurriyat further said Pakistan was about to go to poll and no government can take a major decision at the end of its tenure.

The decision of the hardliners to boycott the Pakistan visit, which will begin later this month, places them directly opposite the moderate separatist camp which has decided to visit Pakistan and begun a series of meetings with traders, intellectuals, experts and the civil society in the run up to the visit.
