Srinagar: Moderate Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Sunday criticised the Centre’s Kashmir policy and expressed hope that the new political dispensation will do an “introspection”. He said it was “unfortunate” that the Centre had “choked” all means of peaceful protests, seminars and “was not allowing pro-freedom leaders to meet people” in the state.
“We are hopeful that the new political dispensation in India will do an introspection of the last five years’ policy with regard to Kashmir,” he said. He said the separatist leadership was ready to support all Indo-Pak efforts aimed at seeking a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue.
The Mirwaiz expressed hope that the “political leadership of India will understand that the Kashmir issue is a reality which cannot be resolved with military might”.
