SRINAGAR: Political voices in J&K hailed Saturday's pause in conflict, urging sustained peace and meaningful dialogue after days of deadly escalation. PDP president Mehbooba Mufti , Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq , and NC chief Farooq Abdullah emphasised relief for border residents, condemned terrorism, and called for political resolution over military action.
"Terrorism is not acceptable. But terrorism shouldn't decide when India and Pakistan will go for war," said Mehbooba. "Military solution is no solution. Ultimately a political solution has to be reached," she added.
Mirwaiz echoed the relief, saying "better sense has prevailed" after what he called a "dangerous path" of destruction.
Farooq stressed an end to hostilities that have devastated life along the border. "Our people have borne the brunt of the deteriorating situation. This measure will greatly alleviate their suffering," he said.
