No invite from New Delhi, Hurriyat puts conditions for dialogue
Aap Kaun Mein Khamkhawah!

Early Times Report
Jammu, May 30: Even as the so called Joint Resistance Leadership or JRL on May 29 said that they were ready to join a dialogue on Kashmir but demanded that New Delhi first end ambiguity in its stand on such an engagement, the reality is that the central government has made no formal offer for any talks.
The Hurriyat statement is much like the popular proverb "Aap Kaun Mein Khamkhawah", as the New Delhi has not made any offer for talks with Hurriyat.
What Hurriyat seemingly took note of is the recent statement of Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
On May 26, Singh said the government was ready to hold dialogue with the Hurriyat Conference leadership if the separatists come forward for talks.
"I have already said that we are ready for dialogue with all stakeholders in Kashmir. If Hurriyat comes forward for talks, we don't mind talking to them. Whoever wants to talk with us, we are ready for talks," he told a news channel here.
But the point is that Rajnath Singh was talking to a news channel and not addressing the Hurriyat.
The Home Minister made the statement in reply to a question posed to him in connection with the completion of four years in office by the Modi government.
Observers said there was no formal offer made to the separatists nor the Home Minister said that he was addressing them. "The Home Minister was only replying to a query," the observers said.
Observers said reaction to such statement would have been logical only if New Delhi had made any formal offer for talks. "But that there was no formal( verbal or written) offer for talks, the Hurriyat is making a fun of itself," said a political analyst.
The JRL trio - Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik - issued a joint statement following a meeting at Geelani's Hyderpora residence declaring their willingness for a dialogue for the "resolution of Kashmir." However, the leaders said: "The noises about the talks emanating from New Delhi were vague."
"While Rajnath Singh says there should be dialogue with both Kashmir and Pakistan, he also says that both Kashmir and Kashmiris belong in India. Sushma Swaraj says no talks with Pakistan unless terror is stopped. Amit Shah says the ceasefire is not for militants but for the people. State DGP has issued a statement that it's time for militants to return home," the statement said.
Observers said this statement from Hurriyat was enough to convey that when New Delhi is not keen on talks with pro-Pakistan elements, the JRL wants to attract their attention of the central government.
