Asked what would be the agenda of his talks with Musharraf, he said: "Our stand [on Kashmir [ Images ]] is well-known and I am only going to repeat it."

Geelani has attacked Pakistan over the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus service.

The moderate faction of the Hurriyat, led by Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, will also meet Musharraf on April 17.

The Pakistani president will be in the country to watch the final match in the ongoing India-Pakistan one-day cricket series.
