While addressing the protestors, speakers said that we are demanding the implementation of the resolution of January 5, 1949 and other resolutions from the United Nations Security Council through this “Right to Self-Determination Campaign”.
The speakers said that India is constantly conspiring to confuse the Kashmir issue by using military force, arresting citizens under black laws, fake encounters, state oppression and intimidation of the Kashmiri people.
Meanwhile, “Pakistan is trying to resolve the Kashmir issue by fully supporting the demand of the Kashmiri people for their right to self-determination for a fair and lasting solution”, they maintained.
Speakers said that the Kashmiri people have been demanding the implementation of the resolutions passed by the United Nations for the past 75 years.
They said that the time has come for the world to fulfill its promises made with the Kashmiri people.
The speakers demanded the international community to declare the illegal Indian actions of August 5, 2019 null and void.
They termed the decision of the Indian Supreme Court on December 11, 2023 as a biased, unjust and political decision and called it judicial terrorism.
The speakers said that the world should take immediate steps to resolve the Kashmir issue for the establishment of lasting peace in South Asia.
