Saifuddin Soz hints at resumption of Kashmir peace talks | Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress chief Saifuddin
Soz has hinted that talks with separatist leaders might be renewed soon. Interacting
with the media here, Soz said consultations were on with the All Parties Hurriyat
Conference, (APHC) and they were at an advanced stage. "Dialogue has already been
on, sometimes it is on the front burner and sometime it is on the back burner...but
dialogue is already on and there are many actors who are involved in this...my
information is that Hurriyat will join the dialogue and talk to Delhi," Soz said.
"Congress party, both at the central and state level, shall facilitate vigorous
dialogue, so in that case Congress party has the big role and I said that Prime
Minister's doors are open for all hues of Jammu and Kashmir state including the
leaders of Hurriyat camp. So whatever the Hurriyat says it is for them to decide
but I can say that the government of India is very serious about it," he added.
Earlier, the APHC had demanded New Delhi to pull out troops, release prisoners
and end human rights violations before resuming peace talks. Dialogue between
the government and APHC broke down in 2006. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
offered to resume talks last month during a visit to Kashmir. |
