Militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen on Thursday made yet another offer of giving up arms provided India made a "sincere" effort to resolve the Kashmir issue and attacked the Hurriyat and Pakistan-occupied Kashmiri leaders charging them with harming Kashmir cause "beyond description". "Once India takes an initiative with good intentions, it will find us ten steps ahead. We will at once give up guns and observe real ceasefire so that solution finding path receives a headway," Deputy Supreme Commander of Hizbul Mujahideen Moin-ul-Islam said in an article published in a local newspaper in Srinagar. "...If today India begins a genuine process of settlement and peace, we will not wait till tomorrow, we will give up our defensive operation right now," he wrote in the article "We Stand for peace, but..." published in `Greater Kashmir`.

"We are not fighting or resisting...Gun is not our hobby...Should India opt for real peace and resolution of Kashmir tangle, we will welcome it burrying at once all our differences," he said, adding "permanent peace should mean, however, perfect solution". Bureau Report
