Dialogue only solution for IHK: Mirwaiz

ISLAMABAD: Chairman All Pakistan Hurriyat Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has said that the only solution to the Kashmir issue is through dialogue.

Addressing a joint press conference along with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan, he said India has tried to suppress the Kashmiri people by using force but it has now realized that these tactics have been ineffective.

The Kashmiri leader was of the view that draconian laws need to be abolished and efforts have to be made to resolve the problems at hand if law and order and peace are to be maintained.

Going forward, he said that Pakistan has assured that the Kashmir issue is always on its agenda during dialogues with the Indian authorities.
