The separatist party also advised Parliamentarians to hold a special session in the Parliament and accept the ‘disputed’ nature of Jammu and Kashmir.
Ahead of the All-party delegation’s visit to violence-hit Kashmir on September 4 and 5, the Hurriyat Conference today refused to meet the visiting Parliamentarians and urged other stakeholders to not participate in the same.
In a statement issued today, Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Geelani said, “Parliamentary delegation is coming to Kashmir after passing a resolution that Kashmir is an integral part of India. Therefore, this delegation neither has the mandate nor the intention to resolve the dispute of Jammu and Kashmir”.
The statement further urged other stakeholders to not participate in the delegation meeting.
“We request all stakeholders to refrain from engaging in this meaningless exercise of meeting this delegation”, the statement read.
The separatist party also advised Parliamentarians to hold a special session in the Parliament and accept the ‘disputed’ nature of Jammu and Kashmir.
The delegation, to be led by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, is expected to meet a cross-section of people, individuals and organizations. During his visit to Srinagar last week, Singh had asked J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to prepare the ground for an all-party delegation to visit the Valley.
