Terms it a landmark achievement and diplomatic success for Pakistan,
MIRPUR: (Parliament Times) Welcoming Paksitan’s move of raising Kashmir issue at the United Nations Security Council, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Azad Jammu and Kashmir has declared the renewed debate over Kashmir dispute in the UN SC a landmark achievement and diplomatic success of Pakistan at the world forum.
“India’s claim that Kashmir is its integral part stood null and void after 50-years of global silence”, the PTI AJK’s Central Secretary Information Ershad Mahmud told this Correspondent on Saturday..
A week ago, the UN Secretary General had urged New Delhi to “refrain from any unilateral step which is dangerous” and to follow the UN Charter and applicable UNSC resolutions on Kashmir.
The issue of Kashmir once again echoed in the global power corridor without being vetoed by any P-5 country. UNSC in its closed-door meeting expressed concerns over human rights violations.
The PTI AJK President Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry gave credit to all these successes to the people of Indian-held Kashmir who rendered countless sacrifices since decades. He thanked the government of China for raising the Kashmir issue at the UN Security Council and advocating for Kashmiris’ right of self-determination. He further added that China supported Kashmir in trying times and proved that #Pakistan-China stand together in thick and thin, according to the Secretary Information PTI, AJK.
Barrister Sultan also thanked the five permanent members of the Security Council for raising concern over human rights abuses and curfew in the Indian-held Kashmir. He called on the Secretary-General of the Security Council to act on the United Kingdom’s suggestion and send a high-level delegation to Srinagar aim to assess the situation and submit a report to the Secretary-General so that the international community could take concrete actions against the perpetrators of the Human Rights.
Secretary General of PTI AJK, Raja Massadaq Khan stated that the Russian Government supported the resolution of the dispute through the United Nations charter and relevant UNSC resolutions for the first time which is a historic diplomatic achievement, according to the statement.
Mussadaq said global attention has doubled since the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan has taken a keen interest in solving the Kashmir problem. Finally, the world powers received a clear message that Pakistan’s support for Kashmiris’ self-determination is undeterred and consistent no matter who rules Pakistan. That is why the world is now turning to Kashmir and opening up to listing Kashmiri voices, he added.
