The PM should take every opputunity to talk to Huriyat leaders currently visiting New Delhi seriously. That is what are their demands and how far India can accomodate them. It is true that Hurriyat has not fought any election so their mass-base cannot be estimated. But they should also not be considered as pygmies in Kashmir politics. Mirwaiz Omar Farooq is a young leader and has a long political life ahead of him. If his statements after meeting Prez.Musharaff are any indication, then it appears that he wants to take the Kashmir dialogue ahead on his own. Its a positive step and the PM should give him and his associates a due consideration.
