The Kashmir dispute is the main impediment in the cordial relations between Pakistan and India and the two countries cannot progress in economic fields without settling it, All Parties Hurriyat Conference Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said on Friday.
Addressing a gathering in Srinagar, Mirwaiz said the recent APHC leaders’ visit to Pakistan was of great significance in the prevailing circumstances and would pave the way for settlement of the Kashmir dispute.
He said the Pakistani leadership and people were aware of the sufferings of the Kashmiris and had always extended moral, political and diplomatic support to the struggle of the Kashmiri people. The APHC leader urged New Delhi to accept the ground realities and realise the fact that a nation could not be subjugated for too long.
