Kashmir's chief cleric, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, has reiterated his call for India and Pakistan to resume dialogue to resolve longstanding issues, including the Kashmir conflict.

The statements come amid reports of a potential track-two dialogue and a meeting between an RSS leader and Pakistani officials, which has drawn political scrutiny.
