KOZHIKODE: The Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, on Thursday said that the peace process between India and Pakistan would have to be carried to its logical conclusion. Terming the peace process as `irreversible,' he said that if the walls of hatred were removed, there would be peace and tranquility in the country. "People of Kashmir are becoming a bridge between the two countries. The peace process augur well for the Muslims of the country. Partition did not solve the problem of Muslims. But lakhs of people will be benefited by this hand of friendship. No terrorist groups can raise their heads,'' the Chief Minister said while inaugurating the maiden Mad-Hurrasool annual discourse of Kantapuram A. P. Aboobaker Musaliar, the Sunni leader, at Markaz Garden in a sleepy village of Punoor near Kozhikode. He said that the people of both the countries had sensed the ground realities that there was no benefit in fighting against each other. "Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh is the architect of the common minimum programme to win the hearts of the people. We realised that people are the fountain-head of power. We took a decision that wherever there was terrorism, we will fight but no human rights violation will be allowed. There was a sea change as a result of good governance and development of democratic institutions. Dr. Singh declared that J and K people could cross the country to Pakistan without possessing visa or passport,'' the Mufti said recalling the tortuous route to establishing peace in the valley. Recalling the achievements of cricketer, Irfan Pathan and tennis player, Sania Mirza, the Mufti said he was impressed by their statement that they offered `namaaz' daily. Observing that the teachings of Allah is universally acceptable and is relevant for all times, Mr.Mufti said that modern communication technologies have made his teachings accessible to all.
