Srinagar, November 30, 2018 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Gilani, and the Chairman of Hurriyat forum, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq have termed as realistic the recent statement of Pakistan Prime Minister, Imran Khan, that Kashmir is the main dispute between Pakistan and India.
