No settlement possible without Hizb: Salahuddin

Pakistan-based Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin has said it would reciprocate Indian government's Ramzan ceasefire only if New Delhi showed its sincerity to the initiative by agreeing to tripartite talks involving Pakistan.

He also asserted that no settlement could be reached on the Kashmir issue without involving the Hizb.

"Any solution to Kashmir problem minus the Hizb is impossible. If it occurs who can implement it," Salahuddin told the Karachi-based Wajood weekly magazine.

He said if New Delhi "has any sincerity in finding a solution to the Kashmir question, it should consent to trilateral talks."

"With this it (New Delhi) should also call back its troops and free all detainees. Only then can we contemplate reciprocating the ceasefire," the Hizb supreme commander said.

Till then, the Hizb will respond with escalated activities, Salahuddin warned.

He said, "We are monitoring the developments in Kashmir and we are in constant touch with militants there."
