In his address to a meeting of its members held in Hyderpora area of Srinagar, Geelani said that "Till the Kashmiris are not taken into confidence and it is not elaborated that what stand Pakistan has adopted regarding to the Kashmir issue in the on-going dialogue process and what are their future strategies in this regard, till than our reservations will not end and we can't support them."
Taking a dig on Pakistan Geelani asked Pakistan to "clear its stand" viz-a-viz fresh round of talks with India.
After hardliner Syed Ali shah Geelani today another noted separatist leader Shakeel Bakshi called upon all other separatist leaders to "stay vigilant about ongoing talk process between India and Pakistan."

"The people of Kashmir are capable to defeat the evil designs which are being manufactured through so called backdoor /track II diplomacy," Bakshi said
Bakshi who heads Islamic Students League (ISL) said that present situation demanded that we (separatists) must strengthen an indigenous resistance movement keeping in mind the principles of Islam, self-esteem and self-reliance.
