Hurriyat favours re-launch of dialogue process

Srinagar, April 07: Hurriyat moderates today asked both India and Pakistan to re-start the composite dialogue process for arriving at a lasting solution to the lingering Kashmir issue.

“The importance of a composite dialogue between India and Pakistan cannot be ignored,” the moderate faction of the Hurriyat Conference, headed by Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, said in a statement here.

“Increasing globalisation and the prevailing political scenario demand the two nations to come forward and initiate measures for resolution of the Kashmir issue in accordance with wishes and aspirations of the Kashmiris,” it said.

A joint meeting of Hurriyat’s Executive Council and the General Council, chaired by the Mirwaiz, today discussed the prevailing political situation in Jammu and Kashmir.

It also discussed ways to strengthen the amalgam, the statement said.
