MUZAFFARABAD: All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq urged India and Pakistan on Sunday to fully open the border in the disputed Himalayan region to let the peace process move forward.
The Mirwaiz said the current limited opening of the Line of Control (LoC), the de facto frontier in Kashmir, was not enough.
The moderate leader is leading a seven-member delegation to Pakistan following an invitation from Islamabad. He arrived in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Azad Kashmir, on Sunday for a two-day visit and will go on to Islamabad.
Limited movement of people and goods is not enough, it should be opened for Kashmiris so that they can move across freely to boost the peace process, he told reporters.
He also said Kashmiris should be included in the peace process as it was not a dispute between just India and Pakistan. No solution without the involvement of Kashmiris will be acceptable to us as we are an important party in the Kashmir dispute.
India and Pakistan have fought two wars over the Himalayan region which remains divided by the LoC.

India suspended its peace process with Pakistan after the 2008 Mumbai attacks blamed on Pakistan and talks only resumed in February last year.
Both sides remain deadlocked over Kashmir but have made some progress on less contentious subjects such as trade.
