Umar Aadil Dar in a statement issued in Srinagar said, “Kashmir besides being an international dispute is also a human problem and it is the moral and constitutional responsibility of the international community to resolve it without further delay.”

He said the United Nations needs to implement its resolutions on Kashmir without any waste of time and settle the dispute as per the aspirations of the Kashmiri people. “People of Kashmir have been suffering for the past several decades.
