The Pakistan High Commission extended the invitation to the separatist leaders including chairmen of both factions of Hurriyat Conference yesterday.
Spokesman of the Geelani-led faction Ayaz Akbar told PTI that "Chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani was invited for the talks with Pakistan NSA Sartaj Aziz. A decision on whether to accept the invitation will be taken at a meeting of the Hurriyat Conference."
Akbar said the stand taken by Pakistan was welcome as "they have asserted that there will be no dialogue with India without inclusion of Kashmir issue".
"We are meeting today to take a decision on the issue," a spokesman of the Mirwaiz-led faction said.
Sources in the Mirwaiz-led Hurriyat said the meeting today was a formality as "We believe in dialogue as a solution for the Kashmir issue".
"We have met Pakistan officials in the past and nothing has changed in recent times to force a rethink," the sources said.
India had last year cancelled Foreign Secretary-level talks with Pakistan after its High Commissioner invited separatist leaders for a meeting ahead of the talks.
India is expected to present strong evidence of terrorism emanating from Pakistan highlighted further by recent attacks in Gurdaspur in Punjab and near Udhampur in Jammu and Kashmir.
India's case is bolstered by the capture of Mohammed Naved Yakub, a Pakistani national and a LeT operative, who carried out an attack on a BSF bus near Udhampur.
In his early twenties, Naved is from Pakistan's Faislabad area. During the talks, India is expected to share evidence provided by Naved to prove that he is a Pakistani national and crossed-over from Pakistan to carry out terror attacks in the country.
