JKLF keen to play its part in Kashmir

new delhi: the pakistan-based jammu and kashmir liberation front (jklf) has reiterated its keenness to ``play its part'' in efforts now underway to find a durable solution to the vexed kashmir issue. speaking to the times of india from his residence in rawalpindi on wednesday, jklf chairman amanullah khan said that his organization had condemned the recent massacres in the state ``in the strongest terms''.he drew attention to a press release he issued immediately after the killings, in which he stated that ``whoever was directly or indirectly responsible for these heinous acts was an enemy of kashmiris' freedom struggle as also of peace in south asia''. amanullah khan was critical of the hizbul mujahideen for offering a unilateral cease-fire. the move was ``ill-timed, ill-manoeuvred, against bitter lessons of the past and without proper homework'', he said and added it ``may have a very negative effect on kashmiris' freedom struggle''. the jklf leader said his organization stood for a ``re-united and independent'' jammu and kashmir state. this objective, he added, could not be achieved if it ``hurt the national egos of india and pakistan'' and, especially, the ``ideology of india's - secularism''. appealing for ``restraint'' on both sides, khan said the immediate issue was to ensure that ``no one plays with the sentiments of india, pakistan and the people of jammu and kashmir''. he said in his statement of tuesday he had emphasized that ``it was in the fitness of things that all kashmiri organizations on both sides of the divide, including the national conference and the hurriyat'' should support ``re-unification and complete independence and oppose the divisions of jammu and kashmir state''. khan said he would like to meet a delegation of former indian diplomats now visiting islamabad but that he had received no response to his request so far.
