Srinagar: The EU delegation met the Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Mohammad Yasin Malik, who appealed the EU to use its influence with India and Pakistan to take solid and constructive measures to address Kashmir issue.
"European Union has friendly ties with both India and Pakistan and our sincere appeal is to use the influence to make the two countries agree to demonstrate sincerity to resolve Kashmir issue," Malik told the delegation.
"The two countries need to take solid and constructive steps to address this long standing and dangerous issue, rather than sticking to the past exercise of cosmetic measures," Malik said.
The JKLF chief said besides the world, New Delhi and Islamabad should accept that Kashmir is not a border dispute between India and Pakistan but an issue concerning the future of crores of Kashmiris.
"Kashmir is not only a political issue but a human issue as well," he said urging the European Union to play its role in resolution of the issue.
Terming Kashmiris as a basic party to the dispute, Malik said the involvement of the people of Kashmir in the talks and decision making is imperative to find an everlasting solution to the problem.
Malik briefed the delegation about the genesis of Kashmir problem, transition from violence to non-violence and alleged human rights violations.
