"We welcome the meeting of DG Pakistan rangers with his Indian BSF counterpart under extreme tension on the borders, and express our wish that this meeting will help in alleviating tension on the borders," Hurriyat said in a statement after an executive meeting here.
The meeting, chaired by Mirwaiz at his Nigeen residence, took a detailed view of the ongoing political situation in the state and called for "bold and concrete steps" towards solving the decades old Kashmir dispute.
"The participants observed that it is this escalation in tension between the two countries that has made the international community, especially the UN and the US, realize the urgency of resolving the Kashmir dispute at the earliest, and today they are more actively advocating its resolution in order to evade the clouds of war hovering in the region," the Hurriyat said.
The Hurriyat said the situation between the neighbours can take a "dangerous turn" anytime due to the lingering Kashmir dispute.
