Referring to Kashmiris’ faith in the state of Pakistan, Saghar said that Kashmiris’ firmly believe that Pakistan would never leave them alone.

Terming the Kashmir dispute as a festering legacy of partition of the subcontinent, he said that lasting peace and stability in South Asia was inescapably linked to a just and equitable solution of the Kashmir dispute.
