Elections cannot change nature of J&K dispute: Mirwaiz

Srinagar, Oct 4 (UNI) All Parties Hurriyat Conference Chairman of Kashmir Chief cleric Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Friday said that elections can't change the disputed nature of Jammu and Kashmir.
Mirwaiz, who was under house arrest since September ,was allowed by the authorities to offer Friday prayers at the historic Jamia mosque in Srinagar.
“Hurriyat’s stand has always been clear about elections that we are not against it. But when you say that elections are for the resolution of the Kashmir issue, we are against that. Election can be for bijli, pani aur Sadak (electricity, water and roads) but it can’t resolve the Kashmir issue,” Mirwaiz said in his address.
