NEW DELHI: Making a plea for peace, Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti today asked the governments of India and Pakistan to resume talks and resolve their mutual issues amicably. "Dialogue is the only way out and I appeal to the governments of India and Pakistan to resume the talks and resolve the mutual issues amicably. "Violence has inflicted only miseries upon the people and the state needs to be taken out of this vicious cycle. Regretfully, these things were not taken so seriously after the late leader demitted office in 2005. Many works could not be executed in 2016 due to the unrest and unfortunately, the funds got lapsed," she said.
