SRINAGAR: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the APHC leaders have reaffirmed the Kashmiris pledge to continue their struggle for right to self-determination, come what may.
According to Kashmir Media Service, on the eve of anniversary of adoption of right to self-determination resolution by the United Nations Security Council on 5th January in 1949, senior APHC leader Nayeem Ahmad Khan, who is detained in New Delhi’s Tihar jail, in a statement termed the implementation of the UN proposed road-map as the most feasible solution to the Kashmir dispute.
He said that for more than seven decades, India’s belligerent military occupation and its policy of deceit, deception and fraud has been major hurdles in the way of peaceful settlement to the long-drawn Kashmir conflict.
“Now is the time for the UN Security Council to take effective cognizance of India’s brutal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir and its devastating impacts and play its due role in the implementation of the historic resolution, which guarantees right to self-determination to the people of Kashmir” he added.
Nayeem stressed that given the extremely volatile situation in the restive region it was imperative that the global community should exert pressure on India to resolve the dispute peacefully.
APHC leader Shabbir Ahmed Dar while remembering the historical importance of 5th January questioned the reliability and credibility of United Nations especially after it has failed in implementing its eighteen resolutions on
Kashmir.
“The resolution of 5th January is testimony to the fact that
Kashmir issue is unfinished agenda of 1947 partition of Subcontinent. Now is the time that UN takes serious steps for implementing its resolution and does justice with the oppressed and subjugated people of Kashmir.”
