Srinagar, May 16: A day after its overseas representatives assured the international community that it would fully support the Indo-Pak dialogue, the Hurriyat Conference today insisted on inclusion in the proposed parleys as a party to find a solution to the Kashmir issue. The need of the hour is to solve the Kashmir issue as per the wishes and aspirations of Kashmiris and include the separatist amalgam in the talks to ensure everlasting peace in the region, senior executive member of Hurriyat, Maulana Mohammad Abbas Ansari told a Friday congregation here. Overseas representatives of Hurriyat assured the US leaders and other European countries that the amalgam would not play spoilt-sport and would help India and Pakistan to start a new relationship and resolve all issues including Kashmir. Ansari said unless the Kashmir issue was resolved, bringing peace in the region will not be an easy task. "Both New Delhi and Islamabad are making good moves to normalise relations. If the two countries are really serious and sincere to resolve Kashmir the day will not be far away when the region will witness peace and prosperity," he said.
