Ghulam Nabi Fai, Executive Director, Kashmiri American Council said that Kashmir was unmistakably given the pledge by the United Nations that she will be allowed to decide her own future. Now, bleeding and betrayed, she asks for the pledge to be redeemed.
Fai said that the people of Kashmir expect President Obama to seize the reality of the Kashmir issue as the question of a people’s life and destiny.
Let not the America’s strategic partnership with India validate India’s war crimes in Kashmir.
Fai emphasized that Kashmir situation has been met with studied unconcern by the United Nations.
Fai emphasized that Kashmir situation has been met with studied unconcern by the United Nations.
This has given a sense of total impunity to India.
It has also created an impression that the United Nations is invidiously selective about the application of the principles of human rights and democracy.
Mr. Zubair Khan thanked the participants for spending long hours during the candle light vigil to express solidarity with their brethren in Occupied Kashmir.
Others who participated included Liaqat Kayani, Sardar Zahoor, Sardar Zareef, Hamid Malik, Haji Mansha, Haji Asghar Sardar Zulfikhar.
