PM, Hurriyat leaders meet on May 3

Special Correspondent

New Delhi: The Hurriyat leaders, led by Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, would meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on May 3 here, official sources said. This comes three weeks before the second round-table on Jammu and Kashmir, planned by the Centre in May third week in Srinagar. The moderate Hurriyat camp, including the Democratic Freedom Party, Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front and the People's Conference, kept away from the first round-table meet in New Delhi on February 25, 2006.

At their meeting with the Prime Minister next week, the Hurriyat leaders are expected to spell out their terms and conditions to attend the Srinagar round of talks.
