"...the ongoing Indo-Pak talks will not succeed unless serious steps are taken to resolve the basic issue of Kashmir between the two countries," Mirwaiz said.

Mirwaiz, who was released from house arrest this morning, held Chief Minister Omar Abdullah "responsible for killings of youth" in the state.

He said if the chief minister is sincere and serious in protecting the life and property of the people, he should in the first phase remove security bunkers and camps from cities, towns and thickly-populated areas of the valley.
