While asserting that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, Jamiat Ulma-i-Hind on Thursday said that any separatist movement is harmful not only for the country but for the people of Kashmir as well.

"Kashmir is an integral part of India and that all Kashmiris are our compatriots. Any separatist movement is harmful not only for the country but for people of Kashmir as well," resolution adopted by the organisation at its General Council meeting in the national capital read.

Stressing that it is not unmindful of the desire of Kashmir people, the resolution read, "We are not unmindful of the desire of Kashmiri people and their self-respect and cultural identity, it is our firm belief that the welfare of Kashmir lies in getting integrated with India."
