| Geelani rejects Musharraf's formula | | 'It is modified form of Autonomy, Self Rule' | | early times report
Srinagar, Dec 30: The Hurriyat (G) chairman, Syed Ali Geelani today rejected former Pakistan Presi-dent, General Mus-harraf's four Point Formula as deceptive in nature and impracticable.
A statement iss-ued by the separatist conglomerate claimed that Musharraf during a meeting with Geelani had admitted that his formula actually sought status quo. "It is silent on self determination and makes no mention of sacrifices offered by the people of Jammu Kashmir", Geelani's spoke-sman, Ayaz Akber said.
Akber said the formula was a modified version of National Conf-erence's (NC) aut-onomy demand and People’s Democratic Party's (PDP) Self Rule Formula.
On total demilitarization, Ayaz said, the Forumla is mum and instead makes a subtle mention of demilitarization of civilian areas.
He said Mushraff wanted joint control of India and Pakistan over Jammu Kashmir and flexibility of borders. "He (Musharraf) wanted the people to give up their struggle for self determination", he said adding "The Hurriyat has adapted a constitution in 1993 and it stresses need for implementation of UN Resolutions."
He said Hurriyat sticks to its stand. "We have rejected short cuts earlier and we reject them now. There is no ambiguity in our stand", he added.
"It is our duty to explain that the formula is deceptive and debating it will only add to confusion", he said.
The spokesman said the on-going movement was indigenous but "India has been trying convincing the world that it was imported from other side of the border." He urged the people to refrain from acts that may change what he called the dominant discourse.
Pertinent to mention, the Mirwaiz Umer Farooq considers the Formula as a basis for final resolution of the dispute. However, former Bar Association Secretary, GN Shaheen Advocate called it `cohabitation with two wives in a single bed'.
