Mirwaiz is not moderate
Flawed approach
7/16/2014 12:27:15 AM
Neha JAMMU, July 15: Is the self-styled chairman of the Srinagar-based All-Party Hurriyat Conference (Mirwaiz), an amalgam of nearly two dozen separatist outfits, moderate, as certain elements have been giving the people to understand?

The only difference between the two is that while Geelani would want the merger of J&K with Pakistan at once, Mirwaiz wants to achieve the same goal by stages. Both hates India from the core of their heart and both denounce the Indian politico-constitutional framework. Both talk about the UN resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir and both vouch for right to self-d...
