Farooq rules out talks with Pak.

WASHINGTON, AUG.20 The Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Dr. Farooq Abdullah has asked Hizbul Mujahideen to give up the idea of bringing Pakistan into talks with India.

Hizbul Mujahideen ``must give up the idea of tripartite talks or India will never agree,'' Dr. Abdullah told the Washington Post in an interview.

Criticising the militant outfit for ending its ceasefire in the State, he said the ceasefire was `a good idea' but that ended too soon to know ``what Hizb really had in their bag. It all looked rather childish to me,'' he added.
