Moderate Hurriyat Conference Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Friday called upon the leadership of India and Pakistan to observe restraint and resume the stalled dialogue process for resolution of all issues including Kashmir.

“The leadership of India and Pakistan need to observe restraint on borders and Line of Control as common people have borne the brunt of hostilities between the two countries,” Mirwaiz said in a statement here.

Mirwaiz said the need of the hour was that “India and Pakistan restart the stalled dialogue process and involve the leadership of Kashmir also in order to find an amicable solution to the Kashmir dispute.”
