'Not for tripartite talks on J&K'

By Our Special Correspondent

SRINAGAR, JULY 9. The radical women's outfit of Jammu and Kashmir, Dukhtaran-e-Millat, has rejected the tripartite talks on Kashmir and criticised the All-Party Hurriyat Conference for its policies on Kashmir. However, it has reiterated support to the jehad in the State and its merger with Pakistan.

The outfit chief, Ms. Asiya Andrabi, told reporters here today that during the coming summit the people of Kashmir would be represented by Pakistan, which had ``all the rights over Kashmir''. Questioning the APHC role in any dialogue, she wondered ``who has given them the mandate to talk on Kashmir?'' Cautioning the Pakistan President, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, on the issue, she said ``he should not be hoodwinked by the Indian stand''. He should not accept the dictation from Mr. Vajpayee and only demand Kashmir's merger with Pakistan. On the proposed trifurcation of the State on communal lines, she said ``the entire State has to go with Pakistan''. Ms. Andrabi said the only solution to the Kashmir problem was jehad.The operations against the security forces should not be stopped and there should be no ceasefire.
