If people of India and Pakistan can meet each other and improve their ties, what crime have the people of Jammu and Kashmir committed to be deprived of it. If a bus can go from Delhi to Lahore why it can't it go from Srinagar and Jammu, Mufti said addressing public meetings at various places in Pulwama district of south Kashmir yesterday.
He said exchange of vists of the families on both sides of the border would remove the myth created among the people of Pakistan who have been fed to believe that there was no Islam in Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmir, in fact, is an abode of glorious traditions of Islam unparalleled in the world. Let Pakistan understand once for all that Kashmiris are not captive of security forces and are free, he said.
Confirming PDP Rajya Sabha member Trilock Singh Bajwa would attend a four-day conference being sponsored by South Asian Free Media Association (SAFMA) in Islamabad, he said PDP would send its Member Parliament in the forthcoming parliamentary delegation to Pakistan to promote people to people contact.
Pressing militants to shun the path of violence, he said even the people of Pakistan are now keen to have peace with India just like the people of our country.
