Faisal said the moot deliberated the issue in detail and decided in the larger interest of public and Kashmir liberation movement to not support such an action without due legislative process through chosen representatives of the people.
He said JAAC leadership was invited in the conference to convince on a framework regarding fulfillment of their demand but they stayed away knowing and was of the opinion that they had decided to go for agitation even their all demands including this were met.
