Hizb ready for talks

NEW DELHI, SEPT. 15. The Hizbul Mujahideen today said it might consider a dialogue with the Centre on the Kashmir issue without the immediate participation of Islamabad if New Delhi accepted it as a tripartite issue.

The Hizb also said that all differences with the Hurriyat Conference after intense talks had been resolved and it held the amalgam in an esteemed position.

``There were differences of opinion with the Hurriyat which have since then been resolved,'' the Hizb spokesperson, Mr. Saleem Hashim, told PTI over phone from Islamabad.

The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen had in a statement issued after the withdrawal of unilateral ceasefire on August 8 severely criticised the Hurriyat for failing to provide a political platform for the so-called movement in Kashmir.
