New Delhi: In what could be seen as a new approach of Hurriyat Conference, it is
attempting to drum up diplomatic support for a consensus on a peace process similar
to that of Northern Ireland in resolving the Kashmir dispute.
Hurriyat Conference sources said that its delegation comprising Mirwaiz Umer Farooq
and JKLF (Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front) chief Yaseen Malik during its stay in New
Delhi was seeking to garner support from diplomatic missions for this
purpose.
In this regard, the Hurriyat team met the Irish Ambassador and discussed the
modalities and the procedure adopted by the Ireland government in resolving the vexed
issue.
The team has so far met the diplomatic officials from the US, Canada and French
Embassies besides holding talks with the officials of the British High
Commission.
Both the Hurriyat leaders were tight-lipped about their mission to the capital, but
the sources said that today's meeting with the Irish Ambassador would help the
Hurriyat
Conference to chalk out their future strategy.
The sources said that Hurriyat would also form a team, which would hold talks with
the people instrumental in bringing peace to the Northern Ireland, which would
include former US President Bill Clinton and members of the Sinn Fein party of the
Northern Ireland.
