Kashmir's main separatist alliance, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, is willing to accept the Indian government's offer dialogue made last month, moderate separatist leader Umar Farooq said Friday.

The Hurriyat has even prepared a "durable and acceptable roadmap" for the resolution of the Kashmir dispute, his colleague Abdul Gani Bhat said.

The plan would be presented to foreign diplomats in New Delhi and later to India and Pakistan, Bhat said.

But hardline Islamic group Jamiat-ul-Mujahedin, fighting for Kashmir's merger with neighbouring Pakistan, said the proposed talks, which could take place as early as next month, would be a betrayal and "sell-out".

"To bring flexibility in a genuine and just stand is a crime. And anyone who does it deserves to be punished," Jamiat chief Sheikh Abdul Basit told local news agency Current News Service.

He accused Bhat and his colleagues of trying to follow in the footsteps of the late Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah, Indian-administered Kashmir's most towering leader who until a 1975 accord with New Delhi was striving for a plebiscite in the region on whether it should separate from India or join Pakistan.

Abdullah eventually gave up the fight and became the region's chief minister.

"Bhat and his friends may present a roadmap similar to Abdullah to New Delhi and thus betray the people of Kashmir," said Basit, adding "mujahedin" (holy warriors) would prevent any further agreements with New Delhi.
