Kashmir: APHC names team for talks with Indian premier SRINAGAR, Sept 2 (AFP) –All Parties Hurriyet Conference Friday named a five-member delegation to hold its first-ever talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh next week, an exercise hardliners said would yield "nothing". Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the head of APHC, said the team would leave for New Delhi on Sunday. "We will talk with our heads high. We will keep in mind the sacrifices ... by the people of Kashmir”. Besides Farooq, others in the team are: Abdul Gani Bhat, Maulana Abbas Ansari, Fazal Haque Qureshi and Bilal Lone. The five had also held two rounds of talks with India's previous Hindu nationalist government early last year. The delegation was part of a Hurriyat team which visited Islamabad in June and held talks with Pakistani leaders. "Talks with India are part of an ongoing process. It is part of a triangular process," Farooq said, referring to India holding talks with Pakistan and the rebels talking separately to both India and Pakistan. "It is a step by step approach," he said. Farooq said during his talks with New Delhi he would seek an end to alleged human rights violations by Indian troops, and push for the release of political detainees and the withdrawal of laws that empower security forces to shoot at anyone on mere suspicion. Meanwhile, Syed Ali Geelani, the head of Hurriyat's hardline faction, Friday said "nothing would emerge out of talks with New Delhi". "I am not against talks, but to make them meaningful India will have to take some concrete steps," he said in a statement. India, Geelani added, should accept the territory of Kashmir as a "disputed one" before holding any talks. "Troops should be withdrawn, black laws (which give the security forces additional powers) declared null and void, and all the prisoners released," Geelani said. He repeated his long-held view that the best way to resolve the dispute over Kashmir was to implement a five-decades old UN Security Council resolution that would allow Kashmiris to choose between Indian and Pakistani rule.(Posted @ 19:05 PST)

Pakistan says Israel talks will give it Mideast role Dubai, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Pakistan on Friday defended holding its first public talks with Israel, saying the move would allow it to take an active role in helping resolve the Middle East conflict.

"This will provide diplomatic space for Pakistan," Kasuri told reporters during a stopover in Dubai. "Whenever you take a new step, of course it is bound to ruffle some feathers." "Frankly (secret) contacts have been going on for decades, but we wanted to send a signal to the Israeli government and people that the assumption that Islamic countries cannot live in peace with the Jewish state is not correct, if Israel were to vacate occupied territory," Kasuri said.
