ISLAMABAD, (APP): The Chairman of Hurriyet forum,
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, has said that Kashmiris’ peaceful struggle
for right to self-determination has been going on since 1947 and
will continue till it reaches its logical conclusion.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who is under house arrest at his
residence in Srinagar, in a media interview reacting to the Indian
Parliament’s discussion on Kashmir, said, “Indian Prime Minister
beat around the bush instead of addressing the real issue head
on.” He said the issues of livelihood, development, jobs and
economic packages have no bearing on the actual problem, Kashmir
Media Service reported.
He said that Kashmir was neither an internal issue of India
nor a law and order problem but was a dispute and Pakistan was one
of the parties to the conflict. It could be resolved through
meaningful dialogue involving New Delhi, Islamabad and the genuine
Kashmiri leadership in line with the UN resolutions.
