Hurriyat ready for talks

The All Party Hurriyat Conference on Thursday said it was ready for talks with the Centre provided the offer was unconditional and focussed on the resolution of the Kashmir issue.

The Hurriyat general council authorised the executive committee to hold talks with the Centre as and when a formal invitation was extended, former chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said after a meeting at the amalgam's headquarters in Srinagar.
