Syed Ali Gilani in a statement issued in Srinagar, today, said that the lingering Kashmir dispute was the main cause of bloodshed in occupied Kashmir.

He said that India despite resorting to the worst kind of state terrorism in occupied Kashmir had failed to intimidate the Kashmiris into submission and they were determined to take their struggle for securing their right to self-determination to its logical conclusion, despite all odds.
