Srinagar: In occupied Kashmir, Hurriyet leader and the Working President of Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference, Jahangir Ghani Butt, has appealed to the world human rights organizations to take strong notice of the Indian atrocities on Kashmiris and pressurize New Delhi to stop human rights violations being committed by its troops in the territory.
Jahangir Ghani Butt addressing a party meeting in Srinagar said, Jammu and Kashmir is a political dispute and the election drama being staged in the territory by India cannot be an alternative to the right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people.

He urged the people of India to listen to the voice of their conscience and impress upon their government to stop killings in occupied Kashmir and resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the Kashmiris’ aspirations.
