All Parties Hurriyet Conference Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has said He said New Delhi should reciprocate the talk offer on Kashmir made by Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
“The process has to start and culminate with the resolution of Kashmir issue with active participation of people of Kashmir,” he said.
He said that upcoming elections are purely an administrative matter and can never be projected as a referendum for the Kashmir issue.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a seminar in Srinagar, he said Hurriyet’s stand on elections was very clear. “We have been saying that elections are a non-issue for us. It is purely an administrative issue, which can’t be projected as a referendum for Kashmir issue, which is a known dispute in UN body,” KMS reported.
“Kashmir issue is beyond elections as Hurriyet wants resolution of the basic problem through tripartite talks and the UN resolutions,” Mirwaiz said in reply to a query.
He said the Kashmir issue could not be put on the backburner as peace woul not prevail in South Asia unless the issue was resolved.
“The situations that emerged in Egypt, Syria, Afghanistan and in many middle-east countries have proved that genuine sentiments can’t be crushed through military might. The super powers accepted the disputed nature of many countries and ended up with a meaningful dialogue for conflict resolution,” he added.
“The geo-political scenario is changing and conflicts are being resolved. NATO pull-out from Afghanistan is a case in point. We believe that New Delhi has to shun its military approach and start a result-oriented dialogue with Kashmiri leadership.”

  1. Likewise it is very interesting that some cases acquired great hype only to be forgotten afterwards. There was also unique example when SC registrar was asked to keep public funds and invest them. As if he was a super investor.
