Welcoming the inauguration of bus service between Amritsar and Nankana Sahib in Pakistan, the Hurriyat Conference has said it considers the move as a step towards peaceful resolution of Kashmir dispute.
"We consider moves like this (running of bus service between Amritsar and Nankana Sahib) as a step towards peaceful resolution of Kashmir issue," Hurriyat Conference Chairman Mirwaiz Umer Farooq said in occupied Srinagar on Saturday. The bus service was flagged off by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Amritsar on Friday.
Mirwaiz demanded speeding up the process of resolution of Kashmir issue. "Kashmir is a human problem. The two countries should respect the sacrifices and wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and speed up the process for resolving the long-standing issue," he added. Mirwaiz left for Pakistan to attend a convention being organised the World Social Forum to discuss political and economic issues of the world. As many as 80 politicians, scholars and intellectuals from different countries are attending the convention, which begins in Karachi.
