“All Parties Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has called for giving up armed struggle to pave the way for fruitful negotiations for a lasting settlement of the Kashmir dispute.”

The Kashmir blog calls it a sell out, it says

“The Mirwaiz has already declared the failure of these methods in the past and the same should be expected of the latest strategy, as it is just another road map for the solution of Kashmir. India can never be convinced without massive opposition from the people of Kashmir. Kashmir needs a powerful mass uprising from the people to end this debacle.”

While the blog’s reasoning against rejecting armed struggle is anything but convincing, there are some viewpoints and links out there which one may not find in mainstream media.

P.S : I watched Michael Collins yesterday.
