Dig at roots rather than hacking at leaves: Hurriyat to PM


Srinagar, Jun 8 (KMW): Kashmiri separatist amalgam Hurriyat Conference today remained cool to the latest offer of talks by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, saying Government should change its approach and look into the root of the problem in the border state. While making it clear that Hurriyat was committed to a meaningful dialogue with the Centre, the amalgam chairman Mirwaiz Umer Farooq said the outfit was disappointed by the "circuitous approach" adopted by the Prime Minister while inviting groups other than mainstream political parties for talks.” When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves," Farooq said, citing a famous education quote. "We were hoping that there will be a direct offer for talks rather than taking a circuitous route. Kashmir is a political problem and we have to find a political solution.
