Sidestepping queries on Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq's call for militant groups to give up armed struggle in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan today said these were his "individual views".

"Kashmiris have been discussing the way forward with regard to resolution of Kashmir dispute. They have been coming up with ideas. There are intra-Kashmiri discussions," Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam told reporters on Monday.

"They are holding talks with Pakistan and Indian leadership. I would not comment on any specific proposals by Mirwaiz or any other," she said.

The Hurriyat leader, who is visiting Pakistan with a three-member delegation, had on Friday called for an end to armed struggle to resolve the Kashmir issue as it has only created "more graveyards" and said the dialogue process should be given a chance.

The Mirwaiz had said, "The dialogue process to resolve the Kashmir issue should be given a chance as efforts through military means have not achieved any results except creating more graveyards." The statement has drawn angry reaction from Pakistan based militant groups.
