ISLAMABAD: The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC) in occupied Kashmir, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has emphasized that Indo-Pak relations would not improve and peace would elude South Asia unless Kashmir dispute was resolved in accordance with Kashmiris' aspirations.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a statement issued in Srinagar maintained that the right of self-determination is an inalienable right of Kashmiris and so-called elections can't be substitute to it.
"Even India's first Prime Minister, Jawahar Lal Nehru had promised to give the right of self-determination to Kashmiris. Since 1947 Kashmiris have been offering sacrifices for attaining the right," he said.
Mirwaiz said that the United Nations Secretary General, Ban-Ki Moon recently stressed that until India and Pakistan address the Kashmir dispute, the tension will hamper the relations between the two countries.
The APHC Chairman pointed out that New Delhi is using cheap tactics to suppress Kashmiris' liberation struggle.
"Government of India has left no stone unturned to muzzle the voice of Kashmiris. However, we will carry on the movement until resolution of Kashmir according to aspirations of its people," he said.
Urging people to make the Lal Chowk March successful, Mirwaiz said, "I appeal people to assemble at Lal Chowk on December 24 and march towards the UN Observers' Office at Sonawar to submit a memorandum for resolution of the Kashmir dispute."
He stated that it is the responsibility of UN to ensure implementation of its resolutions, adding, "We expect the UN Secretary General, Ban-Ki Moon to push for permanent settlement of the dispute to ensure peace in South Asia."
