Ambassador of Pakistan Masood on Thursday attended a ceremony organized on Thursday in Tehran by an Iranian students organisation to highlight the Kashmir issue. A large number of Iranian students from different universities from across the country attended the ceremony.
Abdollahzadeh, head of the International section of Tahkim-e-Vahdat student organization, welcomed the guests and shed light on long outstanding Kashmir dispute between Pakistan and India. Ambassador Riffat Masood, in her speech, highlighted the Kashmir dispute and plight of Kashmiris after the abrogation of special status of Jammu & Kashmir under the Presidential decree of 5 August 2019 by the Indian government.
The Ambassador briefed the audience on the illegal action taken by the Indian government, in contravention of International law and the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions to suppress the popular aspiration of the people of Kashmir to exercise their right of self-determination.
The Ambassador added that Prime Minister Imran Khan in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly session in New York had urged the United Nations and the International community to play their role in resolving the Kashmir dispute and in defusing the current situation as any conflict between the two neighbours with nuclear capabilities would entail grave implications for the region and the world.
