London: Enthused by his parleys with Ram Jethmalani-headed Kashmir Committee, Sardar Mohammed Abdul Qayoom, former president of the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, on March 16 said he is ready to go to New Delhi to pursue the dialogue in an effort to find an amicable solution to the Kashmir issue.

"I am ready to go to New Delhi, heading a delegation or alone, to have a dialogue with my Indian friends and counterparts," Qayoom told reporters.

"We had a detailed discussion on the Kashmir issue. It was very cordial, constructive and positive in approach," Qayoom, the former Premier of PoK and currently the supreme leader of the ruling Muslim Conference, said on his talks with Jethmalani.

He said both had agreed to continue the process of dialogue.

"We also agreed that this sort of dialogue should not remain confined to both of us but include like-minded personalities from both India and Pakistan and both parts of Kashmir," Qayoom said.

He said it looked that United States and United Kingdom were now serious in resolving the issue and "they have realised that the Kashmir issue is a flashpoint and both the nuclear powers could go to a nuclear war".
