A day after the Bharatiya Janata Party general secretary Ram Madhav stressed that it was the Centre that has to decide whether to hold dialogue with Pakistan or not, the separatists on Monday underlined the urgent need to restore dialogue to resolve the “Kashmir dispute” and de-escalate the war like situation on the Line of Control (LOC).
Ram Madhav, who looks after the party affairs in Jammu and Kashmir, had said that the decision for talks would be taken by the Centre and not Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti.
The Hurriyat faction led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq held a meeting of the executive committee of the organisation in Srinagar wherein they stressed for greater need for unity among resistance leadership activists and people.

Hardliner Syed Alishah Geelani issued a separate statement accusing India of escalating the situation on the LOC. He expressed concern over the escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan due to the rising incidents of cross- LOC firing.
He sought UN intervention in addressing the Kashmir issue, saying it is the main reason for prevailing tensions along border.
Geelani stated that the main cause of tension between the two countries is the pending Kashmir dispute and it is due to this lingering dispute that both the countries have fought wars.
