Praag would be playing the role of a facilitator or a peace broker and he is expected to submit a list of independent proposals to resolve the problem in fresh talks next month. The proposals may not be acceptable to us or to the Indian government, but his impartial role we believe could bring in positive results and also help patching up differences between our group and New Delhi.

We are not going to extend the ceasefire just for the sake of extending it. We would like the Indian government to come up with a concrete solution or else we are prepared for any eventuality.

This would be a very crucial round of talks and could determine which way the peace process moves from here on.
