| Is Pakistan willing to talk to India ? | | | Is former Chairman Hurriyat Conference, Prof. Abdul Gani Bhat, kidding the Central Government? This is evident from the way he has expressed willingness to talk to Government of India. Is it his personal opinion or that of the Hurriyat conglomerate? It is because last time he was berated by the Hurriyat leaders for holding talks with Central Government negotiator, Dineshwar Sharma. Well that time he simply evaded a direct reply saying that people come to him to talk and he has no means to deny entry into his house. Prof. Bhat has raised another controversy by declaring that since war was no solution to the problem it would be better if the separatists reopen the channels of dialogue. Days after Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) rejected Delhi's unilateral Ramadan ceasefire in Kashmir, former Hurriyat chairman Prof Abdul Gani Bhat has said Hurriyat Conference would talk to Delhi as fighting war is not an option anymore.
He is so keen to talk to the Government of India that he does not want an invitation from Delhi. But the consensus will evolve over the time and people who want to talk will talk to both India and Pakistan," Prof Bhat has stated Bhat has been a strong supporter of dialogue throughout his political career. "Fighting a war is no more an option. Entire world is talking so Hurriyat Conference is also ready for talk to India and Pakistan," said Bhat, who is also chairman of Muslim Conference, a conglomerate of Hurriyat Conference led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. The JRL comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik has rejected the unilateral ceasefire announced by New Delhi on May 16. Asserting that dialogue is the only way forward, Bhat said, "We have to come to negotiating table. The talks should be held between all three parties -- Kashmiris, Pakistan and Indian leadership".
He said entire globe is marred with disputes. "There are number of issues that pose potential threat for our future. So the best way out is to hold dialogue with all the parties." It is for Pakistan and India to consider and reconsider Bhat's demand. It seems that hitherto he is a lone fighter for holding talks between India and Pakistan. Will he be a facilitator in the Indo-Pak talks? This is a million dollar question when Pakistan seems to be in no mood to hold talks with India. This is borne by the facts that Pakistani troops and Rangers have been resorting to heaving shelling on the civilians and on the Indian bunkers on the LoC and on the IB. In the present atmosphere Delhi may not be willing to hold talks because it has been telling Pakistan to create conducive atmosphere for result oriented and meaningful dialogue. |
