ISLAMABAD: The chairman of a parliamentary standing committee on Tuesday said that the Kashmir dispute is an unfinished agenda of the partition of the Indian subcontinent of 1947.
Rana Muhammad Qasim Noon was chairing a meeting of the National Assembly standing committee on Kashmir at parliament house today.
The meeting of the Kashmir committee was given an in-camera briefing by the secretary of the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan.
The members of the standing committee said that the issue of Kashmir should be raised at all the available national and international forums. They were of the view that without resolving the longstanding issue of Kashmir, there would be no peace in the world, particularly in South Asia.
The members of the committee also said that Indian occupation forces were openly violating human rights in the occupied territory.
They also said that India’s decision of abolishing the special status of Kashmir in August 2019 was against the international obligations made through the United Nations Security Council resolutions that promised to give the people of Kashmir their birth right to self-determination.
The participants of the meeting also stressed the need for the government to raise voice for the freedom of Kashmiri people from the Indian occupation.
