Peoples League reminded the UN to implement its resolutions on Kashmir

Senior Hurriyat Conference Leader Mukhtar Ahmad Waza’s plan to march towards the United Nations Observers Office in Srinagar to remind the United Nation Body to implement its resolutions on Kashmir was foiled by occupation authorities by putting him under house arrest at his residence.

Mukhtar Waza described October 27 as the blackest day in the history of Jammu and Kashmir. He said it was on this day when India sent its armed forces to Kashmir to occupy it forcibly.

Waza said India had promised right to self-determination to the people of Jammu and Kashmir through the United Nations resolutions but later on India backtracked from its promise and started delaying tactics to prolong its illegal occupation. He said that despite of the worst kind of oppression and suppression, India had miserably failed to crush the ongoing freedom struggle.

Waza has said that if the US President, Barack Obama is serious to resolve the Kashmir dispute he should impress upon India for implementing the UN resolutions which guarantee right to self-determination to the Kashmiris.

Meanwhile Chairman Jammu Kashmir Peoples League Sheikh Mohammad Yaqoob has strongly condemns the house arrest of Hurriyat leaders including party’s Acting chairman Mukhtar Waza and said that such tactics would not suppress the ongoing freedom movement.

Sheikh appeals to Indian human rights groups to raise the voice against human rights violations and let the people of Kashmir decide their future according to UN resolutions. He said that stability of both India and Pakistan depends on a peaceful solution of issue of Kashmir according to the aspiration of people of Kashmir.
