In order to internationalize the Kashmir liberation movement with a focus on civil liberties and human rights, the political parties of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir need to get unite on one platform to raise an even more powerful and forceful voice for the Kashmir cause, he maintained.
For this purpose, he added that an alliance of like-minded political parties already exist in Azad Kashmir while such an alliance on the single point agenda of Kashmir cause is direly needed on a national level.
While apprising the state president of the latest situation of occupied Kashmir, Mushtaqul Islam and Uzair Ahmed Ghazali said that there was a need to raise voice for the release of thousands of Kashmiri leaders and workers languishing in prisons in occupied Jammu and Kashmir as well as India, particularly Yasin Malik, Asiya Andrabi, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, Musarrat Alam Bhatt, Ashraf Sehrai, and others because these political prisoners are faced with a serious threat to their lives due to Covid-19.
