Islamabad: The Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has submitted an urgent appeal to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, urging the world body to implement its resolutions recognizing Kashmiris’ inalienable right to self-determination.
According to Global Mirror, in a detailed letter, JKDFP Acting President Mehmood Ahmed Saghar highlighted the annual observance of January 5 as the Right to Self-Determination Day and drew attention to the “continuing deterioration of the political and human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir, a UN-recognized disputed territory under India’s illegal occupation.”
Referring to the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) Resolution of January 5, 1949, Saghar stressed that “the final disposition of the State of Jammu and Kashmir shall be determined in accordance with the will of the people, expressed through a free and impartial plebiscite conducted under the auspices of the United Nations.” He added that “77 years later, the unresolved dispute continues to pose a serious threat to the Kashmiri people, in addition to undermining peace and stability in South Asia.”
