“All that is being achieved by repeated ceasefire violations is death and destruction and great suffering for the people of the region since the last 30 years. This this low intensity war among them can anytime take an ugly turn and bring the region on the brink of disaster,” the statement said.

Hurriyat (M)urged the leadership of both India and Pakistan to mitigate the sufferings of people of Kashmir and put an end to this senseless violence by showing maturity and pragmatism and take steps to resolve the Kashmir issue as per the wishes and aspirations of people of Kashmir by pursuing a sustained and meaningful dialogue with all the stakeholders on board so that peace prevails in the South Asia.

The members also said that it was matter of concern that India has entered into the race of buying weaponry on a large scale stating that enhancing the defence capabilities won’t resolve the issue but instead complicate and worsen the already complex dispute of Kashmir which has consumed lakhs of people over the past 70 years.

“While India and Pakistan are trying to outdo each other in the arms race the fact remains that both countries have lakhs of people living below the poverty line. Basic facilities of healthcare and education elude them. There is so much that they need to do to lift the standard of living of their huge masses that it is so senseless that instead resources are being spent on military upkeep,” the statement added.
