Pak invites Huriyat for talks - Irks India

....Pakistani high commissioner to India Abdul Basit has invited several separatists, including Hurriyat hawk Syed Ali Shah Geelani, moderate leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, leader of a breakaway faction of Hurriyat leader Shabir Shah and pro-independence JKLF chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik for holding separate talks in the national capital.

India should put a stop to this non-sense. US Ambassador had to get Sonia-Bheta-Peon govt permission to meet with Modi - the BJP candidate. How can the Pakis invite the senile Huriyat. The GoI should tell the Pakisaitanis to "fuck off"....and warn the Huriyat they will not be let back into Kashmir if they met the Pakis.

...The end of a charade...Frequent border incursions, meetings with separatist leaders and statements about “supporting the struggle of the people of Jammu and Kashmir” are the staple of Pakistan’s position with respect to India. Any change to this view appears unlikely for now. It is a good sign that India’s outlook does not share any liberal fantasies of looking for friendship where there is none.

Now, they can have that "meaningful dialogue" if they wish.

"This is not the first time that separatists have been invited for talks by the Pakistani high-commissioner. So India could have easily ignored the provocation. Also, the Hurriyat in particular or separatists in general doesn't really reflect the voice of the whole of Kashmir, with the group themselves being divided into separate groups. So this decision by Modi government in a sense gives more legitimacy to Hurriyat than it deserves.

In Pakistan, the army and civilian government often speaks in different voices. According to Desai, the recent upsurge in Pakistan created by Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri has the army's blessings. Hence, the Modi government's move to call off talks in also a blow to the democratic process in Pakistan. Many experts believe that Modi's move may inadvertently help in strengthening the army and ISI's hold in Pakistan and weaken the pillars of democracy there. The Indian Council of Global Relations also says it would have been prudent of Modi to continue talks at this juncture. In a sense, a full circle has come in the India- Pakistan relationship which worsened with the beheading of an Indian soldier in January 2013. All the intermediate stop and start summit level talks have come to a nought and the situation is back to square one.
In reality, Modi like his predecessors doesn't really have a blueprint to approach the talks or how to stop Pakistan from indulging in “proxy wars”. The fact that he raised the pitch and rhetoric against Pakistan while he was in the opposition also restricts him from taking a centrist line. In a sense, Modi has fallen trap to his past actions and the pressure from the hawks of the Sangh Parivar and Pakistan army. Unfortunately, dabang Modi has failed to show the bravado which mild-mannered Vajpayee exhibited. "
