New Delhi, Nov 03: The Centre's talks with Hurriyat Conference might be held sometime after the Ramzan which ends later this month and a committee would chalk out a road map for the proposed parleys with the separatist amalgam, Union Home Secretary N Gopalaswami said here today.
He told reporters on the sidelines of a CRPF function that the committee would do the groundwork before talks could be held with Hurriyat leadership.

Besides Gopalaswami, the committee comprises Centre's interlocutor on Kashmir N N Vohra, Cabinet Secretary Kamal Pande, Intelligence Bureau director K P Singh and officer of special duty in the Prime Ministers' office and former RAW chief A S Dulat.

The committee was formed after the government had last month announced that Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani would be holding talks with the Hurriyat chairman Maulana Abbas Ansari.

Asked about the approximate dates when the talks between the Centre and Hurriyat would be held, the Home Secretary said, "They are also discussing...Give them sometime. I can only think that it will begin only after the holy month of Ramzan is over."
