I think India went wrong. KASHMIR was not divided on MUSLIM count.

NEHRU wanted to keep it with india as he is belonging to there and to save his PM dreams and chair.

based pure on POP count, Kashmir should have been given to other party

Srinagar: Kashmir is not integral part of India, it's disputed, Chairman of the hardline faction of All Parties Hurriyat (freedom) Conference (APHC), Syed Ali Shah Geelani, said on Wednesday.

"We never refuse dialogue but from March 23, 1952 more than 130 rounds of dialogues have been taken place but they were unable to provide any solution. India has to accept one basic fact that Jammu and Kashmir is not an integral part of India, it is a disputed territory," said Geelani in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian Kashmir, during an Eid Milan party.

"Our demand is very much genuine and based on historical facts. The people of Jammu and Kashmir must be given right to self determination so that they can decide their future whether they want to be with India or exceed to Pakistan," he added.

Reportedly, some leaders of the moderate faction of political separatist APHC conglomerate held secret talks with the country's home (Interior) minister in a sign of efforts to resume peace talks to end a decades-old insurgency in the Himalayan region.

The Hurriyat has urged New Delhi to pull out troops, release prisoners and end human rights violations before resuming peace talks.

Dialogue between the government and the separatists broke down in 2006. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh offered to resume talks during a visit to Kashmir in October.

Officials say more than 47,000 have been killed in the past 20 years in the Muslim majority region, where anti-India sentiment still runs deep.

With violence down in recent years, India began withdrawing troops from Kashmir's main towns and handed over law and order to the police, giving signals they were getting ready for peace talks.

Any sign of peace talks may help reduce tension in the Himalayan region, the focus of conflict between India and Pakistan for decades.

Was the railways responsible for some members of Lok Sabha being absent from the House on Monday that led to collapse of Question Hour and triggered a controversy?

This was the contention of a Congress member Harsh Vardhan, who said on Wednesday that he could not reach the House in time because of delay in train when he was travelling in from his constituency Maharajganj in Uttar Pradesh [ Images ] to Delhi [ Images ].

He said he was raising the issue during Zero Hour as questions had been raised over their absence from the House on Monday.

The Congress member said he had gone to his constituency for a meeting and wanted to return in the morning of Monday ahead of the sitting of Parliament.

Criticising the functioning of the railways broadly, he said the train, in which he was coming to Delhi, was halted at Gorakhpur on that day leading to delay.

Vardhan said some other MPs, including Yogi Adityanath (BJP), were also travelling in the train and were delayed like him. Adityanath was not present in the House when Vardhan spoke.

Blaming the station master for the problem, Vardhan demanded action against him. Congress President Sonia Gandhi [ Images ] has taken serious note of the party members being absent from the House on a large scale and has sought a list of the truant MPs.

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh (SP) joined Vardhan, saying he too could not come because of the train delay.

The government on Wednesday announced withdrawal of a 'significant' number of battalions of the Central forces from Jammu and Kashmir [ Images ] in a noteworthy confidence- building measure following the initiative for holding 'quiet' dialogue with the separatist groups.

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram [ Images ] told the Rajya Sabha that the decision had been taken in view of improvement of law and order situation in the state.

He also sought to reach out to separatist outfits of north east like the United Liberation Front of Asom and Naxal groups, saying the government was ready to hold dialogue if they abjured violence.

Replying to a debate in the Rajya Sabha on internal security, he said the government would maintain zero tolerance towards terrorism, whether it is in the shape of 'jihadi' violence or Hindu extremist violence.

He said India [ Images ] remains vulnerable to terrorism as he noted that outfits like the Lashkar-e Tayiba have forged alliances with the Al-Qaida and Pakistan has not changed its attitude.

On the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, Chidambaram said violence in the state has been the lowest this year and the Centre is willing to take 'what appears to be a risky step of withdrawing a significant number of battalions of security forces' and hand over law and order to the state police.

He said the process has already been initiated but refused to quantify the personnel being withdrawn.

Earlier in the day, Chidambaram told the Upper House of the Parliament that Kashmiri groups have responded positively to the Centre's initiative of 'quiet talks' and hoped a solution will emerge.

He said the government would not shy away from talking to any organisation, some of which are demanding self-rule.

Chidambaram noted that Jammu and Kashmir had a number of groups with a number of demands. And even though some groups had demanded the right of self-determination or self-rule, "I do not think we should shy away from talking to any group."

Referring to the north east, the home minister said ULFA is likely to make a political statement in the next few days and if that contains willingness to talk, the government is ready for a dialogue, provided the outfit abjures violence and gives up the sovereignty demand.

The statement assumes significance as ULFA chief Arabinda Rajkhowa has been reportedly detained in Bangladesh and is expected to be handed over to India soon.

Chidambaram said 'all but three states in the North East are entirely peaceful.. Our problems are in Assam and Manipur. Manipur is a cause for worry. I intend to pay greater attention to it.'

In Assam, he said an interlocutor is talking to four groups. The leadership of Dima Halam Daoga has been virtually neutralised and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland is coming forward for talks, he added.

In Nagaland, there is some uneasy truce, both factions of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland are being pursued to come to the negotiation table, he added.
