Hardline Hurriyat Conference chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani today said he will not accept any solution forced by India or Pakistan and would continue the struggle for right to self determination for people of Jammu and Kashmir.
"We will strive for right to self determination and won't accept substitute solutions or accept dictations both from either India or Pakistan," Geelani told David Hamilton, first secretary for political and economical affairs in Canadian High Commission in Delhi.
On the possibility of the involvement of Taliban factor in Kashmir after the US pull out from Afghanistan, Geelani categorically rejected it saying that there is no role for Taliban in Kashmir.
