Srinagar, November 20: A meeting of Hurriyat moderates to decide if they should go for talks with the Centre remained inconclusive on Thursday with some of them demanding that all stakeholders including leaders from outside the separatist amalgam be taken into confidence before going ahead.
The meeting of the executive council of the conglomerate chaired by Mirwaiz Umer Farooq could not decide on the issue of proposed talks with New Delhi as some members pressed hard for taking into confidence non-Hurriyat leaders, general council members and the nation (Kashmiri people) before moving ahead, Hurriyat sources said.
After two sessions of discussions during the day, Mirwaiz called off the meeting of the eight-member council asking the leaders to assemble again within the next couple of days, they said, adding that the meeting is likely to be resumed on Monday.
Masroor Abbass Ansari who along with Abdul Gani Bhat left the room soon after the meeting said, “We have informed the meeting about our stand on the talks.
The meeting remained inconclusive and we are meeting again in the next couple of days,” he said refusing to divulge further details.
Calling for taking on board all the stakeholders, the sources said, the leaders were of the opinion that “any hasty decision with regard to the talks at this crucial juncture will prove suicidal.”
