The National Conference (NC) Tuesday called upon India and Pakistan to restart a sustained and uninterrupted dialogue process to find solution to all issues, including Kashmir, and also asked the Centre to immediately take steps to restore a sense of security in the state. The two-day meeting of the NC's Central Working Committee (CWC), chaired by party president Farooq Abdullah, concluded here on Tuesday in which the party unanimously passed five resolutions.
"Cancellation of the meeting between the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan scheduled for this week in New York City is extremely unfortunate. The NC's central working committee (CWC) unanimously resolved that India and Pakistan must restart a sustained and uninterrupted dialogue process to find a solution to all disputes, including the Kashmir problem," a resolution adopted by the party in its CWC meeting said.
The NC said the party is of the firm opinion that continuation of the dialogue between the two countries is the only way available to settle all disputes and is also in the larger interest of people of the sub-continent. The party said it stands for the unity, integrity and the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and would continue to strive to defend its secular character.
"We further resolve that the NC shall continue to work in this direction and vehemently defeat the nefarious designs of the forces who are hell- bent on weakening the secular credentials of the state of Jammu and Kashmir," another resolution adopted by the party's CWC said. PTI
