Pak blocking peace process, no UN role in JK: Mufti

Jammu: Blaming Pakistan for blocking the Indo-Pak peace process, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister
Mufti Mohammed Sayeed today (Nov 3) turned down any role for United Nations in the State and said
Pakistan should act positively to facilitate interaction of people on two sides of the border.
Pakistan is blocking the Indian Government's proposed Indo-Pak 12-point programme by asking for
United Nations (UN) deployment at proposed border check points and issuing of documents by them,
Sayeed told reporters soon after the re-opening of bi-annual darbar move of Civil Secretariat amid tight
security.
"There is no role for the UN in J and K as far as this issue is concerned," he said and added there was
no logic in the Pak proposal.
People of J and K want peace and end to bloodshed and those living in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir
(PoK) also want greater interaction between people on the two sides of the border, the Chief Minister
said.
So the Pakistan Government has to be responsive to the urges and aspirations of the people of PoK, he
said and added that it should also take steps in initiating the process of re-opening ways between two
sides for people-to-people interaction.
