Srinagar, Sept 09 (KNS): All Parties Hurriyat Conference led by incarcerated chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Thursday said that it was hopeful that the formation of new government in Afghanistan will put an end to four decades of ceaseless conflict and uncertainty. 

In a statement, issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS) APHC said that after the unfolding of confusing and chaotic events in Afghanistan during the past month, it hopes that the formation of the new Government will put an end to four  decades of ceaseless conflict and uncertainty. 

APHC said that it understands that no two conflict regions are the same and the differences between Afghanistan and Kashmir are well-known, however, we in Kashmir can surely empathise with the common people of the country who also have been living in a state of acute uncertainty for forty years. 

“Long term uncertainty takes its toll and we hope that people of Afghanistan will come out of it soon. We also hope that as the country begins the process of building its own future and realizing its aspirations all regional and international member countries will extend their support to it.” 

APHC also hopes that the new dispensation in  Afghanistan is inclusive and broad based and  bears in mind that Islam as a religion is unambiguous in advocating human equality and rights, economic fairness and religious tolerance as foundational values. 

APHC said that it hopes that these values will be the guiding principles of the new dispensation both in letter and spirit, as well as  keeping up with internationally accepted norms. (KNS)
