While remembering the victims of Indian state terrorism, Shabbir Ahmad Dar in a statement issued in Srinagar said, the sanity and reason always demands a human approach to resolve disputes which pose threat to peace, security and stability but those who have inhuman instincts and are intoxicated with the arrogance of power never follow these divine rules.
“India is glaring example which through barrel of guns wants to rule Jammu and Kashmir which is an internationally-recognised dispute waiting for its final solution,” the Hurriyat leader said and asked India to respect the resolutions passed by the United Nations for Kashmir resolution.
He pointed out that the Indian intransigence has been bulldozing all the peace initiatives and sought monitoring by the UN and its representatives for conflict resolution.
