Envoy: (Kashmir dispute is not just territorial dispute: Envoy)

ISLAMABAD:Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Munir Akram has said Kashmir dispute is not just a territorial dispute; it is a dispute, which involves the people of Kashmir.

Speaking at the webinar, he said every Pakistani has a deep sense of commitment to the cause of Kashmir. He said Pakistan has re-internationalized the Kashmir issue. He said for the last 15-20 years, the issue was dormant at the United Nations and in international forums. Today it is alive again.

The Ambassador said it is Pakistan, which is the backbone of the Kashmiri struggle. And we must remain united. The Ambassador further stated that “We all agree on the legitimacy of the Kashmiri struggle. We all agree on the massive violations of human rights, which have taken place in Kashmir over the years and especially in the recent past.

And we also all agree on the heroism and dedication of the Kashmiri people whose third generation is keeping the spirit of resistance alive. The webinar was organized by the Pakistan Mission to the United Nations commemorating the self-determination day in support of Kashmiris.
