Hurriyat rules out participation in J&K polls

The All-Parties Hurriyat Conference on Monday ruled out participating in the forthcoming election in Jammu & Kashmir, ignoring American Secretary of State Colin Powell's plea, saying India had rejected the basic tenets of his suggestion.

"How can we accept participation in the polls when the external affairs ministry of India has rejected the first and foremost parts of Powell's suggestion?" Hurriyat executive member Moulvi Abbas Ansari told the Press Trust of India in Srinagar.

Asked whether Hurriyat would participate in the election if the Centre acted on Powell's suggestion, Ansari said, "The conglomerate will meet and decide on it."
