Srinagar, Nov 21: Encouraged by China and Irans recent stand on Kashmir, both factions of Hurriyat Conference are planning to visit the two countries to mobilize their permanent diplomatic support towards resolution of the Kashmir issue.
As part of the process, the chairmen of the two factions will meet the envoys of the two countries during their scheduled visits to New Delhi in coming days.
A visit to Iran and China will not only strengthen our movement on diplomatic front but will help us to garner more international support for resolution of Kashmir issue. Like Pakistan, we have to garner support from these countries to pressurise India to resolve the Kashmir issue amicably and according to UN resolutions, Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani told Rising Kashmir.
He said during his planned visit to New Delhi he would be meeting the envoys of China and Iran. I would meet the ambassadors of the two countries to formulate a proper mechanism for a formal visit, Geelani said adding, A permanent support for the implementation of UN resolutions will strengthen our long-pending demand for Right to Self Determination to allow Kashmiris to determine their fate.
He, however, said any visit to these countries will be subject to the issuance of travel documents by the Indian authorities.
The Hurriyat (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq also said that his conglomerate is working on diplomatic front for such a visit. International support for Kashmir is must and we will surely visit these countries whenever such an opportunity comes. We are working on such things and as a first step we would be meeting the envoys of China and Iran during my scheduled visit to Indian capital in the coming weeks, Mirwaiz said.
He said Chinas stand on Kashmir has always been encouraging and the recent statement by Iranian spiritual leader on Kashmir is a beginning of support building process on international level for resolution of Kashmir issue. To garner the support permanently, visits to these countries is necessary and must, he said.
The Hurriyat (M) chairman said the senior conglomerate leader Aga Syed Hassan has been frequently visiting Iran, apprising its leaders about the Kashmir situation and its implications on the peace and stability of the region.
He said he has a standing invitation from a Chinese NGO and plans to visit Iran as well in the near future.
