Hurriyat leaders meet Pak envoy: Geelani thanks Pak Premier Nawaz Sharif

New Delhi, Sep 3 (IBNS) A three-member delegation of the Hurriyat Conference (Geelani faction) met Pakistani envoy Abdul Basit on Thursday and handed over a letter of thanks for Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, reports said.

In the letter, Syed Ali Shah Geelani thanked the Pak premier  for adopting a hardline approach  and going back to the stated stand of involvement of separatists in the dialogue on Kashmir.

Pakistan's stand led to cancellation of the  National Security Advisor-level talks, which was scheduled to be held last month.

Geelani's top aides -- Ayaz Akbar, Peer Saifullah and Altaf Ahmad -- met Basit at his office in New Delhi.

This was the first time Hurriyat members met the Pakistani envoy after the NSA-level talks in New Delhi were called off by Pakistan.

The NSA-level talks between India and Pakistan had been called off after Pakistan insisted on meeting separatist leaders while India maintained that their meeting could not be allowed.
