He emphasized that elections should not be viewed as a resolution to the longstanding conflict. In a sermon at Jamia Masjid, he noted that the Hurriyat has never opposed elections but disagrees with claims that they resolve the Kashmir issue, which remains unresolved since its inception.
Mirwaiz criticized the Government of India’s actions on August 5, 2019, asserting that these do not constitute a resolution. He called for dialogue as a means to achieve lasting peace in the region, recalling previous discussions with leaders like Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L.K. Advani, and Manmohan Singh. He warned against the potential escalation of conflict in Kashmir, likening it to situations in the Middle East.
