RAWALPINDI, May 17: The members of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Bar Council (AJKBC) and Rawalpindi District Bar Association on Saturday held a rally outside the UN office, asking both New Delhi and Islamabad to ensure presence of Kashmiris in the next talks on Kashmir issue.

The demonstrators said the Kashmir issue must be solved according to the wishes of Kashmiris. They warned both India and Pakistan that without including Kashmiris in the talks no solution could be found which was acceptable to the people of the held valley who had sacrificed thousands of lives during their indigenous war for freedom.
