Hizb will support Pak-India talks
SRINAGAR: The Hizbul Mujahedin on Saturday said it would react positively to any initiative to find a resolution to the Kashmir dispute. âIf India is serious in resolving the problem, accepts the disputed nature of Kashmir and starts talks, the Hizbul will give a positive response,â the groupâs Pakistan-based supreme commander Syed Salahudin told a Kashmir-based news agency. But he said India would have to talk to Pakistan and the Kashmiris simultaneously. âWe are not against dialogue,â said Salahudin, who also heads the alliance of more than a dozen militant groups called United Jihad Council, based in Kashmir. Reacting to the reported restrictions imposed by Pakistan on Hizbul after it was put on a âterrorist watch listâ by the United States, the commander said: âI want to make it clear that we wonât allow anybody to curb our movement.â
