Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti and Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Friday (June 6, 2025) welcomed the rail initiatives inaugurated in Jammu and Kashmir but demanded confidence-building measures by releasing youth and initiating a dialogue on Kashmir.
“If the Prime Minister truly seeks to reduce the ‘dil ki doori’ (distance of hearts) which he often mentions in his speeches, then humanitarian steps are the real way forward. Train links are welcome, but it is the human links that truly matter and endure,” the Mirwaiz said, while delivering his sermon at the Jama Masjid in Srinagar.
