Srinagar: Moderate wing of Hurriyat Conference asked India and Pakistan to end hostilities along the border on Wednesday.
Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq wants the two nations to resume the stalled dialogue process in order to resolve all the outstanding issues. “The situation arising due to border tensions is of extreme concern. The political leadership of India and Pakistan should immediately announce ceasefire,” he said.
“The basic cause of tension between the two countries is Kashmir issue and unless it is resolved, the dangers to regional peace will not decrease,” he added.
He said unarmed civilians have borne the brunt of the hostilities between India and Pakistan, which should stop.
