Peace Prevails — A Historic Step Forward. Qayoom wani

Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum (JKCSF) Ab Qayoom wani wholeheartedly welcomes the announcement of an immediate ceasefire between India and Pakistan, facilitated through diplomatic engagement at the highest levels. We commend the visionary leadership of Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Shehbaz Sharif, and appreciate the crucial role played by the United States in enabling this positive breakthrough.

This development rekindles hope for a future rooted in dialogue, dignity, and mutual respect. JKCSF has always stood for peaceful resolution of all conflicts through talks, and we believe this is a decisive step toward long-term peace and stability in the region — especially for the people of Jammu and Kashmir who have long borne the brunt of hostilities.

We urge all stakeholders to sustain this momentum and ensure that the upcoming talks address the core concerns with sincerity and resolve.

Let this be the dawn of understanding, not just an end to conflict.
