Malik hails PM’s peace talk

Srinagar, Oct 29: Hailing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s unconditional dialogue offer to Pakistan and separatists for permanent solution of Kashmir issue, JKLF chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik Friday cautioned both India and Pakistan about the repeated failures of dialogue processes in past.
“We have sacrificed our three generations for the solution of Kashmir dispute and now we don’t want to transfer this dispute to the fourth generation.

Solution of Kashmir dispute is mandatory for overall peace in the world and for this reason Kashmiris will welcome any initiative aimed at permanent solution of the Kashmir issue,” Malik said while addressing a public gathering in Pulwama on Friday.
He hailed the recent unconditional dialogue offer by Indian PM to Pakistan and Kashmiri separatist for finding solution to Kashmir dispute. “The talks should be aimed at resolution of Kashmir issue in accordance with the wishes and aspirations of the people of the state,” he said and cautioned India and Pakistan about the repeated failure of the dialogue process in the past.
“The failure of dialogue processes in past have dampened the interest of Kashmiris in the process. The need of the hour is to make the talks more meaningful and result oriented, which will reinvent the faith of our people on the process of dialogue. India and Pakistan should restore the confidence of people of J&K,” he said amid applauses and shouts from the audiences.
The JKLF chairman said solution of Kashmir issue is directly related to peace and prosperity in subcontinent and the entire world. “So it is important for India and Pakistan to solve this dispute with the active participation of Kashmiris,” he said adding, “Talks for the sake of talks is not acceptable to us.”
Terming the huge presence of Indian armed forces in Kashmir as illogical, he said, “Troops should be withdrawn immediately from the civilian areas”.
The JKLF chairman while highlighting successes of signature campaign and Safre Azadi campaign disclosed that Front will be launching another programme - foot march of the entire state. “Through this new programme, we want to press Indian and Pakistani leadership to resolve Kashmir issue and save our 4th generation from this lingering dispute,” he said.
Before launching the foot march, Malik said JKLF will organise peace processions and seminars in every district and tehsil headquarters.
