Mehbooba Mufti welcomes RSS leader’s remarks, pushes for renewed India-Pakistan Engagement

Srinagar, May 13 (UNI) Former Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday welcomed RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale’s remarks advocating dialogue with Pakistan and described engagement between the two countries as an essential component for lasting peace in Jammu and Kashmir.
Mehbooba said the PDP had consistently maintained that dialogue was the only way forward to improve the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
"There is no way without it (dialogue). You have seen that a small country like Iran and on the other hand, America, such a big superpower, and Israel, how many attacks they have done on Iran and now they want to resolve the issue through dialogue. Similarly, Operation Sindoor took place a year ago. I think there is a realisation from both sides, especially what the leader of the RSS has said, that we should talk to them. So, I think there is no other way. If we want to stay united and progress, then we have to do it,” she told reporters in Srinagar.
