The establishment of durable peace in South Asia was impossible without solution to Kashmir issue, Pakistan’s permanent representative to the United Nations (UN) Maleeha Lodhi told representatives from member states on Wednesday.
“The people of Kashmir are overwhelmed by the passion for independence and determined for their right to self-determination,” said Maleeha Lodhi, in her address with members at a meeting of UN Third Committee.
“Pakistan wants the solution to Kashmir issue to be in accordance with the will of Kashmiri people and the international resolutions,” she added. “We reject the ethnic and religious discrimination in Indian-occupied Kashmir.”
“The deprivation of the right to self-determination of millions of people in Kashmir is a tragedy of the 21st century,” Lodhi lamented. “The Kashmiri people have been awaiting the implementation of Security Council resolutions.”
She contended that Indian “barbarism” was a major impediment to the determination of the future of Kashmiris and they wanted “freedom” from at any cost.
“Kashmiri youth are armed with nothing more than a hunger for freedom in their hearts and a belief in the righteousness of their cause,” Lodhi tweeted later about the event. “Pakistan remains committed to a just solution of Kashmir in line with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people & Security Council resolutions.”
Meanwhile, the Foreign Office (FO) of Pakistan condemned continuous use of pellet guns by forces in occupied Kashmir, as more boys sustained pellet wounds Jinab-Sahab area on Wednesday.
“We condemn critical pellet gun wounds sustained by two boys during an anti-freedom raid by Indian occupation forces in Jinab-Sahab area of IoK,” FO spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said on Twitter.
“So far over 1000 Kashmiris in IoK have been blinded either partially or fully…Indian forces on a rampage to maim, blind or kill an entire generation,” Zakaria slammed.
We are praying for the sunrise …..The freedom one
Maleeha lodhi madam , I want to bring ur attention to the people for whom u advocate right for self determination.
Do u know people here elect their own govt . through polls . We hv more than 80 % ministers from Kashmir province .
Perhaps u don’t know that jammu and Kashmir comprises of jammu , Kashmir and ladakh.People from jammu and ladakh though suppressed by Kashmir dominance don’t want separation from our mother India .
It is only 26% population who when out of power in politics brawl chants for freedom . Also do u know how many Kashmir Hindus these ur people who according to sick people like u lament , have brutally killed . U have to have fair eyes only then vision will prevail.
