Srinagar, September 19, 2020 (PPI-OT): In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Tehreek-e-Wahdat-e-Islami (TWI), a constituent of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), has said that Kashmir is an issue of right to self-determination of millions of Kashmiris, which cannot be resolved by announcing economic packages for the territory.
The TWI spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar, reacting to the announcement of the occupation authorities that the Indian government would provide and economic package worth Rs 1350 crore to IIOJK said that the Kashmiris were not making sacrifices for perks and privileges but for freedom from India’s illegal occupation of their homeland.
The spokesman said that Jammu and Kashmir was an internationally-recognized disputed territory while the United Nations had passed several resolutions regarding the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination. He added that the implementation of these resolutions would resolve the problems of Kashmiris and ensure permanent peace in the region. The spokesman urged India to end its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by acknowledging the ground realities instead of trying to lure the Kashmiris with economic packages.
