Senior Hurriyat Leader and Acting Chairman JKPL Mukhtar Ahmad Waza said that Peoples League activists also visited Islamabad, Deyalgam, Nanil and other towns and tehsils and collected thousands of signatures on the petition which would be sent to US Embassy in New Delhi to draw the attention of the United States president, Barrack Obama

Waza maintained that it is not important that only Kashmiri people will support or sign the petition. Anyone who supports basic human rights and values, the humanists from any part of the globe can support it. We hope Obama will use his influence to prevail upon India to take steps for a peaceful resolution of Kashmir issue in accordance with wishes and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he added.
