New York, September 26, 2019 (PPI-OT): Azad Jammu and Kashmir President, Sardar Masood Khan has called upon OIC leadership to project voice of Kashmiri people to the UN Secretary General and Security Council to avert a bigger crisis for the entire globe.
In a statement read out at the meeting of OIC Contact Group on Kashmir held at the sideline of 74th UN General Assembly session in New York on Wednesday, he emphasized the UN Security Council to take exception to India’s aggressive posture which poses grave dangers to peace and security in the region, AJK Presidential secretariat said Wednesday.
He urged the international community to find a final and just solution to the long outstanding Kashmir dispute in accordance with its own resolutions as well as wishes and aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
The AJK President said it is the responsibility of UN Security Council to avoid the potential devastating war. “The UN secretary general must not equivocate but make clear calls for an end to curfews and communication blockades in the held territory, restoration of civil liberties and fundamental freedoms, and release of political prisoners and human rights activists,” he added.
The AJK president said that on the 54th consecutive day of curfew and telecommunication blackout, the gun-toting soldiers patrol deserted streets and the people besieged in their homes, have been deprived of food, water and medicines. “Peaceful protests against Indian actions are being quelled with live ammunition and pellet firing shotguns,” he said adding that thousands of Kashmiri lawmakers, political activists, businessmen, lawyers, students and teachers have been detained and tortured.
