Now,
Sharif invites Geelani to Pakistan
Days
after India hosted Baloch leader Nawabzada Hyrbyair Marri in New Delhi,
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday invited Syed Ali Geelani,
chairman of a faction of the Hurriyat, to Islamabad. A letter from Mr. Sharif
was handed over to Mr. Geelani by Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit who
called on him at Tilak Nagar in Delhi. Pakistan’s Deputy High Commissioner
Mansoor Ahmad Khan and other High Commission officials also met Mr. Geelani and
his aide Peer Saifullah, public relations secretary Altaf Ahmad Shah and
Hurriyat spokesman Ayaz Akbar. “I am inviting you to Pakistan, so that I too
can gain something from your views on the present situation. Hope that you will
spare time to visit Pakistan at the earliest,” reads Mr. Sharif’s letter,
according to the Hurriyat spokesman. “Kashmir is not any border dispute but it
is the issue of right to self-determination of 20 million Kashmiri people, and
we had conveyed to India in clear terms that there are no possibilities of
progress in the relations between the two countries without the Kashmir issue
being addressed,” the spokesman quoted Mr. Sharif as saying. He said the letter
promised “full support to the ‘Kashmiri nation’ on political, diplomatic and
moral fronts. “It says, Kashmir is the unfinished agenda of the Pakistan formation
and ignoring this agenda can never establish friendly relationship between the
two countries,” the spokesman said. The Pakistan delegation reportedly praised
Mr. Geelani for his “resolve, determination, commitment and
straightforwardness.” Interestingly, Pakistan has chosen Mr. Geelani, instead
of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, chairman of another faction of the Hurriyat, which
supports dialogue with New Delhi. Mr. Geelani opposes talks with the Centre.
