Several prominent Kashmiri leaders, including former Jammu and Kashmir chief ministers Farooq Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti, have expressed their support for the recent call by Dattatreya Hosabale, a leader of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), advocating for dialogue with Pakistan. This call comes after years of heightened tensions, particularly following the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. Abdullah described the RSS's pro-dialogue stance as a significant move, emphasizing that dialogue is essential for resolving issues rather than resorting to conflict. Mufti echoed this sentiment, stating that the RSS's position aligns with her party's belief in the necessity of maintaining open channels for dialogue to foster peace in Jammu and Kashmir. Additionally, General (retired) Manoj Naravane supported the call for talks, highlighting the potential for improved relations between India and Pakistan. Sajad Kargili, leader of the Kargil Democratic Alliance, pointed out the humanitarian aspect, urging authorities to facilitate family reunifications for divided families in the region, which could help build trust and promote peace.
