Hizb asks India not to rake up 'frivolous' issue of infiltration

Pakistan-based Kashmiri militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen on Monday asked New Delhi not to rake up the "frivolous issue" of infiltration of militants on the Line of Control but take concrete steps to resolve the basic issue of Kashmir.

"Now that Pakistan has instructed its troops to exercise maximum restraint on the ceasefire line (Line of Control), it is imperative for India to pay full attention to the principal and basic issue of Kashmir rather than rake up the frivolous issue of infiltration and exfiltration of Mujahideen on the LoC," Hizb spokesman based in the state, commander Masood, said in a statement here.

Apparently commenting on the statements of the Union home and defence ministers asking Pakistan to curb infiltration across the border and give up its proxy war against India, the spokesman said by raking up such issues India would deprive the people of the sub-continent of the fruits expected from a "big and important" step taken by Pakistan.

"Infiltration and exfiltration of Mujahideen or border crossing was the outcome of the rigid attitude adopted by India by not fulfilling the promises made to the people of Kashmir," the spokesman said.

"Pakistan has no responsibility at all in stopping the border crossing," he said.

The spokesman said the outfit would play a key role as per the wishes and aspirations of the people of Kashmir to resolve the basic issue.

He also made it clear that without the involvement of Pakistan, resolution to the Kashmir issue was not possible.  "An everlasting solution to the Kashmir issue is possible only when Pakistan is involved in the negotiations," he said.

"The parties concerned - India and Pakistan - should not waste another 50 years but read the writing on the wall and ground realities and come forward with result-oriented and fruitful proposals to resolve the Kashmir issue," he said.(PTI)
