He said that Kashmiris have been waging war of freedom on every front but it is not yielding the fruit due to lack of co-ordination in these efforts.
"Our purpose to be here is to integrate the struggle and efforts for the peaceful settlement of the Kashmir dispute."
"I invite the leadership of this part to visit Jammu and Kashmir so that blood lines drawn on the chest of Kashmir be erased and Kashmiri leadership should guide Pakistan and India forward for the settlement of the Kashmir dispute" he said.
He questioned that why Kashmiris have been allowed to meet each other after 57 years; why Kashmiris cannot meet each other when Pakistanis go to India to see cricket match and Indians come to Pakistan?
Farooq said that Kashmiri leadership would have to decide "on this historic occasion" that they (Kashmiris) have to represent themselves.
"We are not here on pleasure trip; we want peace, but not the peace of graveyard, but a lasting peace; and we have to decide the fate of Kashmir.
"We are here to evolve a strategy for an integrated effort for the settlement of Kashmir dispute and we have to decide, during this visit, how we have to present our stance."
He said: "We believe that the ongoing dialogue process between India and Pakistan is a resolution process."
He stated that Pakistan supported Kashmiris' struggle for freedom.
He said a great process has started, "and we have to enter it to decide the future of Jammu and Kashmir".
Chairman of his own faction of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Muhammad Yasin Malik held some AJK leaders responsible for the martyrdom of 100,000 Kashmiris in occupied Kashmir. He said he believed that selfish and opportunist leadership on both sides had created a lot of confusion, which distanced the Kashmiris from their goal.
He said that some responsibilities lay with AJK leadership.
He directly pointed at Abdul Qayyum Khan, who was present on the occasion, and made him responsible for the sufferings of Kashmiris.
He asked the leaders to become leaders of the people and not of media, "and don't only act for getting space in media".
Former chairmen of APHC, Moulvi Abbas Ansari, Abdul Ghani Bhat and Abdullah Tari also spoke on the occasion.
AJK Prime Minister Sikandar Hayat Khan, President PPP, AJK, Ishaq Zaffar, Ghulam Qadir were also present on the occasion.
The visiting Kashmiri leaders also addressed a press conference soon after their arrival here. They also visited the tombs of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq's grandfather, former presidents of AJK Mirwaiz Muhammad Yousaf and Khwaja Khurashid and laid wreaths at their graves and offered Fateha.
Yasin Malik and Umar Farooq also addressed the gathering outside the tombs.
