Separatists missed the bus: Azad Ehsan Fazili Tribune News Service Srinagar, April 26 A voice has also been raised to hold a separate roundtable conference of separatists to find out a solution to the long-pending Kashmir problem. This had been put forth by lone separatist leader Hashinm Qureshi, chief of the Democratic Liberation Party, who attended the third conference in New Delhi on Tuesday. Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has high hopes on the process of involving different sections of society in all three regions of the state to overcome problems. A day after the conference held in New Delhi, he assured a public meeting in south Kashmir that the recommendations of working groups would be implemented within the next two months to provide succour to the people. He said besides other matters, rehabilitation of militancy victims, orphans, widows, destitutes and those rendered unemployed also came up for discussion. Describing the third RTC a success, he said representatives of all political parties and intelligentsia participated in the deliberation. Expressing dismay over certain groups for keeping away from the RTCs and working groups, he said they had lost the opportunity to put forth their points of view. Expressing satisfaction over the improving relations between India and Pakistan and the dialogue between the two countries, he said this had made the borders peaceful and provided congenial atmosphere to carry forward welfare schemes. The National Conference, whose top leaders Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah, both MPs, attended the conferences, is, however, pessimistic about the approach to the problem. "This is likely to create confusion and doubts about the government’s sincerity towards resolving the Kashmir issue", provincial president of the NC and MLA, Dr Mehboob Beigh said yesterday. Though the moderate faction of the Hurriyat Conference led by Mirwaiz Moulvi Umar Farooq had several rounds of talk with the Central leadership during the past four years, it has not joined the roundtable conference. The pro-independence JKLF chairman, Mohammad Yaseen Malik, who has also met the Central leaders though at individual levels, also declined to participate.

BJP distances itself from

Plot to kill CM foiled,
three arrested
Srinagar, April 26 Pakistan-based groups Jaish-e-Mohammad, the Lashker-e-Taiba and the Hizbul Mujahideen had planned to target Azad during his visit to Bandipore, 50 km from here, highly placed sources said. The police had intercepted communications between these groups over the past three days which spoke about the plan to attack Azad when he visited Bandipore to lay the foundation stone of a degree college. Acting swiftly, the police nabbed three terrorists, including a Pakistani national, who were to carry out a suicide attack. This was the second such plot foiled by security agencies in a month. Earlier, terrorists had planned to target Azad at Ramban in the Jammu region but the three possible attackers were nabbed before they could act.
