On Sunday, Mirwaiz said that Hurriyat Conference wants to lend full support to the India-Pakistan dialogue on Jammu and Kashmir.

"Hurriyat wants to lend its full support to the India-Pakistan dialogue. We feel that while it is important for both countries to engage, it is equally important that they engage the people of Jammu and Kashmir in this dialogue. And when I say people of Jammu and Kashmir, I mean people on both sides of the ceasefire line," Mirwaiz said.
