Hurriyat chief wants China, Saudi Arabia's mediation in J-K | Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has suggested
that China and Saudi Arabia could mediate to resolve the Jammu and Kashmir issue.
Speaking on the sidelines of a function hosted by the Pakistan High Commission
to mark the Pakistan National Day at New Delhi on Tuesday, Farooq suggested that
China and Saudi Arabia could mediate to resolve the issue. " China has very good
relation with both the countries, India and Pakistan . It has a role in Kashmir
. We feel that they should come forward the way America is trying to restart the
dialogue between the two countries," Farooq said, adding that it is good to know
that China is also engaged in such process. Referring to the statement of Minister
of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor, Farooq noted that he also had sought
Saudi Arabia as an interlocutor in resolving the Kashmir dispute with Pakistan
. " Saudi Arabia has very good relations with both the countries India and Pakistan
. It is obvious that such a suggestion has come from Shashi Tharoor. Saudi Arabia
can play a role in Kashmir . We welcome it," added Farooq. Shashi Tharoor had
reportedly earlier said that Saudi Arabia should play the role of an interlocutor
between India and Pakistan . The remark caused a stir and appeared to fly in the
face of India 's long-stated position on resolving all issues with Pakistan bilaterally
and without third party intervention. Recently, Farooq met Chinese Director of
Foreign Affairs, Ying Gang, in Geneva during the 13th session of the UN Human
Rights Council on Monday. The Hurriyat leader is due to travel to China at the
invitation of the NGO named Han Foundation. |
