SOUNDBITE (Urdu) Mir Waiz Umar Farooq, chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference: "During the last 57 years Kashmiri people are involved in a struggle. And this struggle is based on the resolutions of the United Nations. These resolutions of the UN provide legitimacy to our struggle. But it is very sad that the UN has failed to fulfil its obligations despite the passage of 57 years. In fact they have failed very badly. People of Jammu and Kashmir have given enormous sacrifices and we think in order to resolve the Kashmir dispute new ideas and proposals should be considered and discussed. It is the way to resolve the dispute." 11. Umar Farooq waving and sitting in his car 12. Pakistani supporters lift Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik on their shoulders 13. Convoy of Kashmiri leaders leaving STORYLINE A senior Kashmiri separatist leader said on Thursday that attempts by the United Nations to resolve the dispute between Pakistan and India over the divided Himalayan region "have failed very badly". Umar Farooq, head of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, an alliance of Muslim separatist groups from India's portion of Kashmir, said it was time to consider "new ideas and proposals" to settle the issue. Farooq did not elaborate on the what new ideas and proposals might be considered for resolving the Kashmir dispute. Farooq made his comments during a visit to the mausoleum of Pakistan's founding father, Mohammed Ali Jinnah. Jinnah was a lawyer and politician who fought for the cause of India's independence from Britain, then moved on to found a Muslim state in Pakistan in 1947. Pakistan and India control parts of disputed Kashmir. The nuclear-armed rivals have fought two wars over the region since their independence from British rule in 1947. The United Nations passed resolutions in 1948 and 1949 calling for Kashmiris to vote on whether to join predominantly Hindu India or Islamic Pakistan. Although Pakistan and Kashmiri separatists have constantly called for implementation of those resolutions, it has never taken place because of India's objections. Farooq and eight other separatist leaders have been in Pakistan since last week, holding talks with President General Pervez Musharraf and other top officials, as part of the ongoing peace process between the two countries. Conflict pitting Indian security forces and a Muslim-led insurgency in the Indian portion of Kashmir since 1989 has killed more than 66,000 people, many of them civilians. India accuses Pakistan of backing the militants, who either seek Kashmir's independence or its merger with Pakistan. Islamabad denies the charge, saying it only provides moral, political and diplomatic support.
