Srinagar: In occupied Kashmir, Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM) has deplored that the Kashmir dispute remains unresolved despite the fact that the UN has passed several resolutions for its settlement.
The DeM Chairperson, Aasiya Andrabi in a statement issued in Srinagar said that many lives had been lost since 1947 and the bloodshed was not going to stop, besides, the peace in South Asia was a distant dream due to the non-resolution of the Kashmir dispute.
She reiterated that it was responsibility of the UN to help resolve the lingering dispute in accordance with the aspirations of Kashmiri people. “It is its duty to settle issues of subjugated people. It is imperative for it to help the people of Kashmir get out of the subjugation,†she added.
The DeM Chairperson hailed the role being played by Pakistan in highlighting the Kashmir dispute at international forums and said, “Pakistan has always been at our back particularly during the ongoing mass uprising.â€
Aasiya Andrabi appealed to Pakistan Prime Minister, Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, to brief the new Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, about the Kashmir dispute in its historical context and reiterate to the UN chief that the Kashmir was not an issue about human rights violations but the internationally recognized dispute.
