Srinagar: Terming the resolution passed in General Assembly of United Nations regarding the right to self-determination of nations and Pakistans support for it as encouraging and in favour of subjugated nations of world, Hurriyat Conference Jammu Kashmir (HCJK) leader and Democratic Freedom Party chairman Shabir Ahmad Shah Saturday said the step will pave way for justice to freedom fighting people of the world.
Pakistans support to the resolution will encourage the freedom fighting people of the world and it is surely a victory for those people particularly for the nation of Jammu and Kashmir who are struggling for their birth right of self-determination, Shah in a statement issued to press said.
He said New Delhi has to revere and acknowledge this resolution sooner or later and has to allow the people of Jammu and Kashmir decide their right of self-determination. He said UN should keep a vigil over its member nations as to how they treat their subjects in their respective domains. UN should also initiate steps to implement these resolutions on ground.
Applauding the role of Pakistan Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif with regards to Kashmir issue, Shah said the Pak premier has upheld the facts based on truth and reality. He also lauded the statement of Nawaz Sharif that non-serious approach towards the Kashmir issue will only pave way for destruction in the subcontinent as the issue is a bone of contention between two nuclear neigbouring nations India and Pakistan.
Shah urged India to shun its stubbornness and respond positively to Nawaz Sharifs call for dialogue to resolve the Kashmir issue. The right of self-determination is the birth right of nations which is mentioned in the UN charter. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are fighting for this right from last 67 years for which so many resolutions have been passed in the security council of UN but only due to Indias stubborn attitude, the issue continues to linger.
He said though UN played a crucial role in bringing independence to many nations like South Sudan, East Timur, since its inception, but the institution has failed with regards to one of the sensitive issues of subcontinent Kashmir issue. Jammu and Kashmir had never been the part of India which has forcibly occupied the territory. This issue has forced both its stakeholders India and Pakistan to spend major portion of budget in their in defense rather than focusing on education, poverty and development of their respective nations.
