Srinagar, Aug. 16 (PTI): A section of separatist leaders here today said former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee was a “great man” and a rare leader with “humaneness” who sought a resolution of the issues related to Kashmir.
“I am sad to hear about the demise of A B Vajpayee ji. Atalji was indeed a rare Indian leader who had the humaneness to seek the resolution of the festering Kashmir dispute in the wide ambit of humanity and not within the confines of a constitution,” chairman of moderate faction of Hurriyat Conference Mirwaiz Umar Farooq told PTI.

“He was also a man of peace for his neighbours, especially wanted cordial and peaceful relations with Pakistan and was ready to address all issues including the core issue of Kashmir through dialogue. May his soul rest in peace,” he added.

Former Hurriyat chairman Professor Abdul Gani Bhat said Vajpayee was “a great man in more than many cases”.
