Azad welcomes Musharraf's statement

New Delhi: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Sunday welcomed of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's statement of rejecting the option of an independent Kashmir.

"I welcome his suggestion of rejecting the option of an independent Kashmir and also his desire to talk to New Delhi," Mr. Azad said in an interview to Karan Thapar for his programme `Devil's Advocate.'

Asked why the Centre was not forthcoming in its approach to have a second round of talks with Hurriyat Conference, Mr. Azad said it was for the amalgam to communicate to the Centre that they were ready with their much-promised proposals and agenda.

"They did not approach and I guess they were more busy in talking across the border with Musharraf than with the Centre," he said, adding, "the Centre is very serious about the talks."
