NEW DELHI, 27 March 2022, (TON): PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti reiterated her call to the BJP government for dialogue with Pakistan and the people of Jammu and Kashmir, saying “peace would be elusive as long as Kashmir remained unresolved.”

She called upon people to vote for the constituents of the People's Alliance for Gukpar Declaration, an alliance of several parties, including the National Conference, PDP and Communist Party of India, in the next assembly elections to defeat the BJP's attempt to gain power and seal its wrong decision to scrap Article 370.

The former chief minister said "Kashmir has been awaiting a solution for the last 70 years...there will be no peace in the region until the Kashmir issue is resolved, and for that, dialogue with Pakistan and the people of Jammu and Kashmir is imperative.”

Addressing a workers convention in Ramban, she said "Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee both visited Pakistan, but why do they feel perturbed when we speak about holding dialogue with the neighbouring country."
