Hurriyat calls for trilateral talks

SRINAGAR, NOV. 12. The Hurriyat Conference today called for a ``comprehensive'' ceasefire by all groups, including the militants and security forces, as part of its three-point formula to resolve the Kashmir issue.

It said the formula also envisaged trilateral talks and setting a time-frame for a solution to the vexed problem. ``We propose negotiations involving India, Pakistan and the true representatives of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, simultaneous ceasefire by all involved and a time-frame for resolution of the Kashmir issue,'' Hurriyat chairman, Prof. Abdul Gani Bhat, told presspersons here.

Mr. Bhat said the appeals by world leaders in recent weeks to address the Kashmir issue was a ``shot in its arm.''
