INCLUDE KASHMIRIS IN PARLEYS: MIRWAIZ

Srinagar, May 18 (Only Kashmir): Moderate separatist leader Mirwaiz Umer Farooq today advocated inclusion of Kashmiris in the dialogue process between India and Pakistan for resolution of the lingering Kashmir problem.
"The Indian government should ensure participation of Kashmiris in the on-going dialogue with Pakistan to resolve the Kashmir issue in accordance with wishes and aspirations of the people," he told a seminar here.
The seminar "Kashmir Masla -- Hal Ki Talash" was organised by the moderate faction of the Hurriyat Conference headed by Mirwaiz.
"Kashmir issue has its own history. We have our own identity and unless the problem is resolved in its historic perspective, no forward movement (in the composite dialogue) is possible," Mirwaiz said.
JKLF chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik also addressed the seminar.
