India, Pak should continue
dialogue: Hurriyat

Talking to newspersons in Srinagar, senior executive member of the Hurriyat Conference Abdul Gani Lone termed as 'untrue and canard' press reports which said Pakistan President Gen Pervez Musharraf had told them (Hurriyat leaders) to chalk out a programme so that they become true representatives of the people.

He said during the nearly 30-minute meeting between Hurriyat leaders and Gen Musharraf at the Pak High Commission in Delhi 'Musharraf did not utter a word but listened to our stand patiently'.

"We placed our common stand to him that Kashmiris are the principal party to the Kashmir issue and they should be involved in the talks for an everlasting solution."

"Gen Musharraf not only gave us a patient hearing but stood like a rock during the summit that involvement of Kashmiris was essential for a solution to the Kashmir issue. We are happy that he stood his ground," Lone said.
