Kashmir parties support India-Pakistan talks
[DAWN] Major political parties and the Hurriyat Conference in India-held Kashmire have expressed support for a Kashmire-centric dialogue between India and Pakistain, welcoming the intent for "constructive engagement" expressed by the former and "uninterrupted dialogue" by the latter, The Hindu said on Tuesday.

It said Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, chairman of the All Parties Hurriyat Confere­nce, described Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who is the lightweight's lightweight...
and Foreign Min­ister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi’s remarks of "uninterrupted dialogue on Kash­mir" as "a positive development".

"It reflects new positivity. We hope that the channels of communication will remain open to build trust. It is in the interest of Kashmire and also in the interest of the entire region if the two countries come closer and resolve the long-pending Kashmire dispute," he told The Hindu.

The Mirwaiz, who is a part of the Joint Resistance Leadership along with Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Yasin Malik
...chairman of one of the two factions of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front. JKLF is a Kashmiri nationalist organization founded in Birmingham, UK in 1977. Branches weren't actually established in Kashmir for another ten years. It has the usual demands for separation of J&K from secular India so it can become an independent Islamic rathole. It seems to have no interest in Pak Kashmir breaking away to join it. In 1994 Malik renounced violence after he was released from jail and from that point he and his organization pursued peaceful means to impose their will on the region...
, hinted at holding a meeting of various leaders over the latest engagement between India and Pakistain. Kashmire, he said, was a complex issue, and Pakistain had rightly suggested an uninterrupted dialogue.

"The dialogue is the need of the hour. We always support any such initiatives," he said. The Mirwaiz, however, was quick to add that India needed to show reciprocity and "change its current military approach in Kashmire to a political one".

Peoples Democratic Party leader Naeem Akhtar said the two countries had made an encouraging beginning by speaking of talks. "We hope the new government in Pakistain walks the talk and gets adequate response from this side too. Jammu and Kashmire is directly hit by the hostility between the two countries and the progress in the region is held hostage to security concerns. We expect a serious dialogue to follow up the statements," he said.
