They said that the people of Kashmir were engaged in a just struggle of securing their right to self-determination.
They said that India had forcibly occupied Jammu and Kashmir against the will of the Kashmiri people but one day it would have to vacate the territory because the use of brute force couldn’t weaken the Kashmiris’ freedom sentiment.
