Srinagar: Moderate faction of Hurriyat
Conference led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Monday called for
inclusion of Kashmiri leaders in the Indo-Pakistan dialogue
process for resolution of Kashmir issue.
"The leaderships that represent the sentiment and
aspirations of Kashmiris have to be included in the talks
between India and Pakistan for finding a durable and lasting
solution to Kashmir issue," Mirwaiz told Canadian Deputy High
Commissioner Jim Nickel here.
Nickel, accompanied by Canadian diplomat Madhusri Das,
met Mirwaiz and other Hurriyat leaders at the latter's
residence here.
The Hurriyat leader said he had a detailed interaction
with Nickel about the various aspects of Kashmir issue and
need for resolving it to achieve lasting peace in South Asian
region.
"We also apprised the Deputy High Commissioner about the
latest situation prevailing in Kashmir, including the
revelation about the unmarked graves," he added.
