In response to Munshi Subhash letter on Kashmir

I am responding to Munshi Subash's letter titled “Why complain about All Party Delegation.” (GK, 24 Sept). He has asked 'Kashmiri Muslims' to demand either freedom or benefits and favours from Indian state. According to him the two can't go hand in hand.

Good statement

In his meeting with the all party delegation, Mirwaiz made an important and a landmark statement when he said that the Kashmir dispute needs to be solved and it includes the Kashmir that is under Pakistan.
