In occupied Kashmir, addressing Juma congregation at Jamia Masjid in Srinagar, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq urged India to give up its intransigent stand on Kashmir and address Kashmir dispute with firm political determination to evolve a durable solution, acceptable to all the three parties to the dispute.

Mirwaiz also expressed grave concern over the increased incidents of custodial killings of Kashmiris, in the past few weeks. He also took strong exception to large-scale harassment of people, in the run up to Indian Republic Day on January 26.
