President Azad Kashmir Sardar Masood Khan said that the US government and people must play their role for a peaceful solution to the Kashmir issue. The Kashmir issue is not an internal matter of India but an internationally recognized dispute. Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Dr. Asad Majeed said It is the duty of the United Nations to urge India against the Indian occupation of Kashmir and for the restoration of human rights – in 73 years India has completely failed to reduce its commitment to Kashmiris’ independence. Pakistan will continue to strongly support its Kashmiri brothers at the diplomatic, moral and political levels.
