Jammu and Kashmir: People's Democratic Party (PDP) chief and former Jammu and Kashmir CM Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday once again insisted on talks with Pakistan to resolve the Kashmir issue. Mehbooba Mufti said that if Pakistan's PM Shahbaz Sharif talked about resolving the issue of Jammu and Kashmir and improving the relations between the two countries, then it should be done.

Former Jammu and Kashmir CM Mehbooba Mufti also said in Anantnag that this happened even during the time of former Prime Minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee. During that time both countries sat and talked on the Kashmir issue. Advocating talks with Pakistan, the PDP chief said that once again both the countries find a solution to Jammu and Kashmir in the same way, it will be good for the country as well.

Describing the issue of Jammu and Kashmir as very tight, Mehbooba Mufti said that the issue of Kashmir will not be resolved like this. You turn it into a prison. Every day there are shots fired and encounters take place here. Kashmir issue is never going to be resolved by these steps. The PDP chief said that for this it is very important to take Kashmiris into confidence with an open mind. Once upon a time, former Prime Minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee talked about humanity, Jamhooriyat and Kashmiriyat. If the central government considers Bajpayee ji as its ideal, then come forward with a positive mind to resolve the issue of Kashmir.
