'Decision soon on Hurriyat visit to Pak.'

NEW DELHI, DEC. 26. The Government would soon decide on the issue of allowing the Hurriyat Conference leaders to travel to Pakistan for parleys in connection with the peace process in Kashmir valley, the Home Minister, Mr. L.K. Advani, said today.

Asked about the possibility of Hurriyat leaders' visit to Pakistan, Mr. Advani told Zee News in an interview that while the Government was not averse to holding talks with the APHC, it would also hold dialogues with the National Conference, the BJP, the Congress and leftists who were against cross-border terrorism.

``At times, the Hurriyat tries to give an impression that it is the lone representative of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. This is not true,'' Mr. Advani said.
