Indian Occupied Kashmir's top woman politician and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti has appealed to Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on Thursday to help bring peace to the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) by persuading freedom fighters to declare a cease-fire.
"Encourage them to announce a cease-fire," Mehbooba Mufti urged Musharraf. "Please make the youth understand people in Occupied Kashmir want peace, not violence." She made the appeal after being unanimously re-elected chief of the ruling PDP which came to power in 2002 in Occupied state elections on a pledge to bring "peace with dignity" to Occupied Kashmir.
Mufti said Musharraf was seeking to please the West by cracking down on extremists in Pakistan after recent deadly bombings in London.
"In our land, there are people who are dying. Don't you feel pain when people die here?" she said. "I appeal to President Musharraf to prevent bloodshed in Occupied Kashmir...try to treat this festering wound."
