Srinagar, Mar 30: Chairman of Hurriyat Conference (M) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Wednesday stressed the need for formation of a Kashmir Group in Parliament to monitor situation in the state and put forth recommendations for resolving Kashmir issue.
 Mirwaiz while talking to a 40-member delegation of Greater Municipal Corporation Hyderbad, led by the deputy mayor Jaffar Hussain which called on him at his residence here, said, "We reiterate our suggestion for setting up of a Kashmir group in the parliament which will keep an eye on the situation in Kashmir and recommend measures for a solution to Kashmir issue."  
 Mirwaiz apprised the delegation of the Corporation, headed by the Member Parliament Assad-ud-Din Owaisi, about the historical background of Kashmir issue, and peoples’ sentiments, wishes and their aspiration. He also gave a detailed account of the incidents of human rights violations and ‘brute force’ and repressive method employed by the government through its forces to quell upsurge of peaceful mass protests, processions and rallies since 2008. 
 Mirwaiz said if the Prime Minister of India Dr Manmohan Singh and Prime Minister of Pakistan Yousuf Raza Gilani, during cricket diplomacy, succeeded in pushing forward the composite dialogue on resolving the Kashmir issue, it would be a matter joy for Hurriyat and people of Kashmir and would certainly also help hammer out a solution acceptable to the both countries and people of Kashmir. “But if India persists on its rigidity and continued to show non-seriousness, it will worsen the future", he said.
