Kashmir issue needs political solution: Hurriyat

October 31, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 07:42 am IST - SRINAGAR:

The Kashmir issue needs a “political solution” and the Centre can’t woo its people only by extending financial packages and concessions, moderate Hurriyat Conference said on Friday.

“Kashmir is a political issue that needs a political solution. New Delhi can’t woo people only by extending financial packages and concession,” its chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said while addressing a gathering in Ganderbal district.

The Mirwaiz said it was time for Indian leadership to give up its “military approach” in Kashmir and understand that a political resolution and not economic packages alone could resolve the vexed issue of Kashmir.
