Srinagar, Feb 18: As Pakistan went to polls on Monday, residents in Kashmir said the elections were a step towards restoring democracy in that violence-hit country.

"I feel the elections are good for Pakistan. This is the first step towards restoring democracy. Whatever happens there in Pakistan effects us here in Kashmir," said Nisar Ahmed, a resident.

While many Pakistanis said they were disillusioned about an election which was aimed at completing a transition to civilian rule. Indians felt the polls would put an end to military rule.

"I feel voting should take place. We are happy for those living in Pakistan. This will solve many issues and also bring to an end the military rule," said Showkat, another resident.
