Hurriyat warns of attempts to impair Indo-Pak talks

The Hurriyat Conference headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq hoped that the leaders in both the countries will carry forward the peace process in a “bold way” and resolve all outstanding issues including Kashmir. “I only hope that the process, which has been initiated after many speed breakers, gains momentum and both nations sit together and find solutions to all the outstanding issues including Kashmir by involving the Kashmiri people,” Mirwaiz said. 

He expressed apprehension that radical elements, who are inimical to peace in the region, would try and make desperate attempts to sabotage the peace process. “Any party or group that stands in the way of attempts to achieve peace are enemies of the people of South Asia. Rabble-rousers should be reined in so that issues can be addressed and peace becomes the order of the day,” he said.
