In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, All Parties Hurriyat Conference senior leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has urged Pakistan and India to hold dialogue, saying diplomacy and engagement remain the most reliable means of resolving disputes and ensuring lasting peace in South Asia.

According to Kashmir Media Service, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, while speaking at the Friday congregation at Jamia Masjid in Srinagar on the occasion of Ashura said the tragedy of Karbala continues to offer timeless lessons in truth, justice, patience and sacrifice.

Drawing parallels between the message of Karbala and contemporary conflicts, he said Imam Hussain (RA) stood for truth and dialogue rather than confrontation, and that history had demonstrated the limits of oppression and violence.
