Muzaffarabad, June 10, 2023 (PPI-OT): The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwar ul Haq has said that peace in the region is linked with the resolution of the Kashmir dispute. Chaudhry Anwar ul Haq in a statement issued in Islamabad, today, said that sustainable peace in South Asia hinged on a just and equitable solution to the lingering Kashmir dispute.

He said that it was high time that the international community should play its role to settle the decades-long dispute that had been pending on the United Nations agenda for the last 75 years. Terming Kashmiris’ ongoing freedom movement as a legitimate struggle, he said, “Hundreds of thousands of Kashmiris have sacrificed their lives to achieve their cherished goal of freedom.”

Referring to the massive human rights violations taking place in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the AJK Prime Minister said that bloodbath of innocent civilians, extra-judicial killings, arbitrary arrests and molestation of women at the hands of occupation forces had become a new normal in Kashmir. He said, “Despite all these cruel tactics, India could not suppress the spirit of freedom from the hearts of Kashmiris.” He said that international human rights organizations should take notice of the woeful plight of Kashmiri Hurriyat leaders who had been booked under Draconian laws and left to rot in jails.

The AJK Prime Minister also urged the world leaders to take notice of India’s stubbornness and play their role in giving the Kashmiri people their right to self-determination guaranteed to them under the UNSC resolutions.
