Former union minister and Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Monday said that the Hurriyat leadership is guilty of knocking on wrong doors and would do well to knock on the doors of the Government of India to get a fair hearing of its demands under the Indian constitution.

"This is the right time to talk on terrorism instead of composite dialogue because In Jammu and Kashmir Pakistan has increased their army, around eight-hundred ceasefire violations within one-year and terror attacks are still happening, "Azad told ANI.

Azad was commenting in the wake of the government's crackdown on Hurriyat leaders prior to the proposed Indo-Pakistan NSA talks.
