Let us pray that Allah grants resilience to those who have lost homes and families. It is a test from Almighty. Let us all beg him not to put us through it again.

We will also pray for the survivors who have lost their homes and their near ones.

The time has come to dismantle the Line of Control (LoC) forever. Because of this line people are not able to meet each other and help each other during this hour of crisis.

I was moved by the scene on the borderline.

In other parts of the world such divides are becoming irrelevant but here we are not being allowed to help each other despite a tragedy without parallel in our history.

We thought this would have been an opportunity, would have given a boost to the peace process, would have narrowed the gulf. It hasn’t happened. That’s unfortunate.

Both India and Pakistan do realize that the time has come to settle all issues, including Kashmir, in accordance with the aspirations of the people of Kashmir.

If India would have allowed telephone links, people-to-people contacts, it would have given a boost to the peace process.

The meeting went off well. We were on the same frequency. The Kashmir issue needs to be resolved through dialogue. More important is the involvement is the people of Kashmir in the dialogue process.

We are holding special prayers for those who died in the earthquake.

I have not received any invitation for any round table conference but I have come to know through media that it is going to be held in New Delhi.

We hope it’s going to be a new beginning,

Unless draconian laws which give authority to Indian forces to catch and kill people without any reason are withdrawn … peace in the region will remain a distant dream.

We have no conditions from our side and they (New Delhi) have no conditions this time.

When the time for such a conference comes, the involvement of the leadership of India, Pakistan and both sides of Kashmir is a must.

There should be some perceptible change, visible change, so that people really feel the benefits of the peace process.

We condemn the incident. It is an act of terror.

We had a very detailed discussion, a very heart-to-heart discussion.
