No invitation received for 3 RD Round-Table: Shabir Shah

Srinagar, Apr 14 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) chairman Shabir Ahmad Shah today said any invitation from the centre for the third round-table conference would be discussed before reaching any decision.

''We have heard about the third round-table conference being held in New Delhi on April 24 only through media reports, he said adding he had not been contacted by anyone so far.

''Let us hear from the centre,'' he said adding the invitation would be discussed in the general council meeting before taking any decision.

He said the DFP was pro-people and the decision would be taken accordingly.

Mr Shah said his party would support any move that helped to find a durable and amicable solution to the Kashmir issue, lingering for the past 57 years.

He said he supported the peace process between India and Pakistan. However, he alleged that fruits of the peace process had yet to reach Kashmir where security forces wer committing Human Rights violations and thousands were languishing in jails for years.

Mr Shah said so far a number of conferences were held without achieving anything.

The talks should be serious and meaningful to find early solution to the vexed issue, he said.
