Developments not encouraging, says Hurriyat

The Hurriyat Conference Wednesday night expressed disappointment with India's refusal to hold tripartite talks on Jammu and Kashmir.

"The developments are not encouraging," Hurriyat Conference Chairman Abdul Gani Bhat told PTI while reacting to a statement of the External Affairs Ministry on Tuesday that New Delhi was committed to an "early" resumption of the composite dialogue process with Islamabad provided it stopped cross-border terrorism.

"We are not happy over the development and we will come out with more details on the issue after our full executive members meets in Srinagar," Bhat said.

Bhat, who has been camping in Delhi for the last five days, said: "We will have to weigh all pros and cons before arriving at any conclusion."

The Hurriyat Conference has said it is ready to open a dialogue with the Centre provided this led to tripartite negotiations.

Bhat, along with former Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman Yaseen Malik and other lower rung leaders, met Pakistan High Commissioner Qazi Ashraf Jehangir Tuesday night at an Iftar party and discussed the future course of action on Kashmir.
