Srinagar, January 5 : Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and the world over observed the Right to Self-determination Day, today, to remind the international community that the UN resolutions on Kashmir remained unimplemented even after the passage of more than six decades.
On this day in 1949, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution, acknowledging Kashmiris’ right of self-determination and giving them the right to decide their future by themselves.
Addressing a seminar in Srinagar, today, the speakers said that the people of Kashmir had been facing the worst form of state terrorism due to the non-implementation of the UN resolutions. The speakers including Syed Ali Gilani, Dr Javed Iqbal, Zaheeruddin, Professor Sheikh Showkat Hussain, Z G Muhammad and Riaz Masroor said that the Kashmiris had been rendering unparalleled sacrifices to secure their right to self-determination. They said that the World Body should recognise its responsibility and come forward to implement its resolutions on Kashmir.
APHC leader and the Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Movement, Ghulam Ahmed Mir addressing a session of his party activists in Jammu said that the UN resolutions on Kashmir were still as much relevant as they were six decades back when they were adopted.
Meanwhile, the speakers at a seminar in Islamabad organised by the APHC-AJK deplored that the United Nations had not been able to give effect to its resolutions to hold plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir. A resolution passed on the occasion asked the world community to impress upon India to settle the dispute in accordance with the Kashmiris’ aspirations.
In London, the Executive Director of Kashmir Centre, Professor Nazir Ahmed Shawl in a statement pointed out that permanent peace was not possible in South Asia till the Kashmir dispute remained unresolved.
