Chairman of Kashmir Council Europe (KC-EU) Ali Raza Syed has said that Kashmiris will not give up their struggle for right to self-determination prom-ised to them by the international community.
He was speaking at meeting of core committee of KC-EU held at its office in Brussels in connec-tion with 5th January, the day of right to self deter-mination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Ali Raza Syed said, January 5, 1949 resolution provides the base for settlement of the Kashmir dispute while India’s adverse attitude had been an obstacle to settlement of the Kashmir dispute. He deplored that the World Body has failed to imple-ment its resolutions, resulting in the continued suf-ferings of the Kashmiri people. Jammu & Kashmir was to obtain freedom in August 1947 under the Partition formula but Indian forces illegally occu-pied a part of Jammu and Kashmir, which is still under its occupation.
KC-EU Chairman added, peace in South Asia is linked with the settlement of the Kashmir conflict. He said, all of the Indian acts including constant occupation, killing of the innocent people, revoca-tion of special status and merging of Jammu and Kashmir into the its federal territory and modifying of domicile rules in the occupied Kashmir are ille-gal.—KMS
