  "account": "In a letter to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the chief cleric and separatist leader of Kashmir, called for peaceful engagement and dialogue to resolve the region's issues. Mirwaiz met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the sidelines of the BRICS summit. The letter, handed over to Araghchi, expressed Mirwaiz's solidarity with Iran and emphasized that wisdom, restraint, and statesmanship are needed more than ever. Mirwaiz highlighted the importance of resolving differences through dialogue and emphasized that Kashmir and Iran share centuries of cultural and spiritual interaction. He also suggested that India, with its legacy of Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of Ahimsa, could contribute to promoting restraint, engagement, and diplomacy in the region.",
