Ignoring issue: Islamabad irks Kashmir leaders

Pakistan Foreign Secretary, Jalil Abbas Jilani, met Kashmiri separatist leaders in New Delhi on Tuesday.

Report from Indian Kashmir said Jilani is likely to face some ‘plain-speaking’ as the separatist camp had decided to corner Islamabad for having agreed to discuss all issues with India except Kashmir.

Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Muhammad Yasin Malik who arrived in New Delhi this afternoon for the meeting told Kashmir newspapers that Kashmiris are not against the India-Pakistan talks nor are they against the ongoing Indo-Pak trade.
