Kashmiri expats urged to highlight freedom fight
BERLIN, July 21: Leader of the opposition in the AJK Legislative Assembly, Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry, has called upon the Pakistani and Kashmiri expatriates to play their due role in highlighting the longstanding Kashmir issue at all the international forums.
He gave the call, while speaking at a big gathering of party workers and expatriate Kashmiris and Pakistanis at the Berlin Airport on Sunday.
Mr Mehmood, who arrived here to attend a protest rally against the Indian barbarism and atrocities in the occupied Kashmir, said it was the responsibility of Pakistanis living all over the world to highlight the Kashmir issue effectively and counter the nefarious designs of India in a situation when India was trying to get the indigenous freedom struggle of the Kashmiris declared as terrorism.
The former AJK premier said the Kashmir dispute had entered into a decisive phase and its early settlement needed to avert mass destruction in case of a war between both the nuclear powers.
He exhorted the big powers of the world to help resolve the dispute of Kashmir for achieving durable peace and stability in South Asia.
“Kashmiris living abroad should speed up their endeavours in drawing the world attention toward the Kashmir issue and in assembling their sympathies for innocent inmates of the held valley sustaining the inhuman attitude of the Indian forces.”—PPI
