TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Maulana Fazlur Rahman, leader of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam of Pakistan, has called for negotiated settlement of disputes between India and his country. On a visit here to ‘‘improve relations through non-government initiatives,’’ Rah- man on Monday had a meeting with Sama- jwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and a closed-door session with the top VHP lead- ership. Rahman and his party colleagues closetted with VHP president Vishnu Hari Dalmiya and his deputy Giriraj Kishore. Apparently satisfied with the outcome of their meeting, both sides said that peace was a common concern. They,however,refused to divulge the details of their discussion. More than the contents it was the symbol- ism of the meeting — hardline religious lead- ers from two opposite polls — that lent sig- nificance to their coming together in a five- star hotel here. Rahman later said both countries should try to resolve thorny issues through talks. The purpose of his visit, Rahman said, was to give peace a chance.
