“Generations of Kashmiris have been consumed by the uncertainty. We want an end to it, a fair closure”
SRINAGAR: Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Sunday said ‘despite increased challenges, his resolve for peaceful resolution of the Kashmir conflict remains stronger than ever’.
He also said India and Pakistan have a real opportunity at the upcoming SCO Summit to break the ice and engage constructively.
Speaking on his X handle after five years, he said: After more than 5 years, mostly spent under house detention, when J&K, in the August of 2019, went through the rude shock and humiliation of losing its semi-autonomous status, was broken into two parts, downgraded to a union territory followed by a no-holds-barred clampdown and communication blackout, I return to this platform with the same hope of peace and justice for the people of Jammu & Kashmir that I have always desired. Despite increased challenges, the resolve for peaceful resolution of the conflict remains stronger than ever,” he said according to KNS correspondent.
“Generations of Kashmiris have been consumed by the uncertainty. We want an end to it, a fair closure. India and Pakistan have a real opportunity at the upcoming SCO Summit to break the ice and engage constructively. Hope they heed to it,” he added.
