APHC wants militants to join talks with Delhi |
2006-05-06 |
Kashmir's main separatist political alliance said on Friday it wanted to invite Islamist militants fighting in the disputed region to join new peace talks with New Delhi. The comments by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, chief of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), came two days after the group agreed with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to set up a system to discuss solutions to the Kashmir dispute. Hurriyat is an alliance of nearly two-dozen separatist political groups. "Well definitely, once this process takes on, once we are able to have a blueprint, the Hurriyat can also try to get them on board (using) whatever influence we have," Farooq told Reuters in an interview. |
