National Conference Working President Omar Abdullah said that both India and Pakistan owe Kashmiris a credible peace process that would result in a sustainable solution of the Kashmir Issue.
While addressing a seminar, National Conference Working President Omar said that “India and Pakistan should stop trying to beat each other at diplomatic fora and claim victory.
Kashmiris have suffered a lot due to the fact that India and Pakistan have failed to initiate a comprehensive and sustained peace process that would simultaneously facilitate dialogue at both external and internal fronts.
For what Kashmiris have gone through, they deserve the uninterrupted and undivided attention of both India and Pakistan with a demonstrated intention and political will to resolve the political issue”.
“Diplomatic engagement between New Delhi and Islamabad – both on the Kashmir issue as well as generally – has been defined by inconsistency and ambiguity.
While successive Governments in India and Pakistan have engaged with each other on Kashmir, we have achieved precious little as glimmers of hope have turned into despair as all such initiatives were derailed. We need to chart a new way away from egoistical stands and clichés and realize the enormous human costs of a prolonged conflict in Kashmir.
The key to unlocking a future of peace lies in acknowledging and respecting the political sentiment and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir”, Omar said.
