The President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Sardar Masood Khan, on Monday said that Indian fascist regime was trying to manipulate right of self-determination for Kashmiris and said that fighting for independence could not be called terrorism.
The president was addressing the two-day International Conference on Kashmir titled “From Gardens to Graves: Kashmir in Resolutions and Solutions” at the National University of Modern Languages.
The conference was organised by the Department of International Relations, Faculty of Social Sciences in collaboration with Sophy’s Forum Faculty of Languages.

Muhammad Ibrahim, Speakers from UK, US, Turkey and occupied Kashmir, guests, speakers, faculty members and students also attended the ceremony.
The President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir said that war for Kashmir is war for Pakistan and independence of Kashmir is pivotal for the survival of Pakistan. He said that fascist Indian regime should reverse the actions taken on August 5, 2019 and United Nations must admit that Kashmir is not a bilateral issue but an international dispute.
Sardar Masood said that having nine million army in occupied Kashmir by India is certainly an act of terrorism. He also highlighted the conspiracies of Lord Mountbatten which helped India to occupy Kashmir.
Sardar Masood said that people of Pakistan should remain clear that people of Kashmir wanted to join Pakistan. He also praised the sacrifices of Kashmiri leaders like Burhan Wani, Maqbool Butt, Yasin Malik, Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and others.
He criticized international community for not opening their lips over the brutalities committed by Indian army just because of some economic benefits perhaps. He thanked China, Turkey, Iran, Malaysia, Finland and Germany to support Kashmir and Kashmiri people on international forums.
