ISLAMABAD: Senior Hurriyat leader, Mr. Abdul Ghani Lone, today said the Ramzan ceasefire announced by the Prime Minister Mr. A. B. Vajpayee was ''not enough'' and New Delhi should immediately call tripartite talks, involving Pakistan, to resolve the Kashmir issue. ''Pakistan is a party to the Kashmir problem and, therefore, talks cannot bear fruit without Pakistan,'' he told reporters in Rawalpindi.
