LAHORE (News Pulse) : Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi affirmed that India’s unilateral action of revoking special autonomy of occupied Kashmir has given a “turning point” in the just struggle of people of Kashmir for their right to self-determination.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi addressed All Parties Kashmir Conference held under the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Punjab in Lahore, and stated that the United Nations Security Council has taken up the issue after 54 years.
Mr Qureshi further emphasized on the need to mobilize the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for its focus on the longstanding dispute of Kashmir.
“India made unconstitutional moves on Aug. 5, the entire Pakistani nation supports the cause of Kashmir and a joint session of the parliament was called in this regard,” he said, adding that the matter was raised at international forums as well.
The Minister pointed out that the Kashmir dispute has gained international attention after getting discussed in the UNSC.
“India has created as much interruptions in holding a session of the UNSC as it could have done and attempted to cleverly link the dispute with terrorism,” he added.
