He said the OIC’s continued support to the Kashmir cause has always been a source of encouragement for the people of the occupied territory.
He said Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has effectively highlighted the Kashmir dispute and presented the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination before the international community. He said the holding of plebiscite as per the UN Security Council resolutions and the supervision of the world body is indispensable to settle the lingering dispute to ensure lasting peace and stability in South Asia.

He said the statement of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari at the OIC Foreign Ministers’ meeting that Kashmir is Pakistan and Pakistan is Kashmir is Pakistan is a reflection of Kashmir policy and these remarks have boosted the morale of the Kashmiris who are victims of Indian brutality. He said the people of Kashmir, especially the APHC leaders, welcome the statement of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and express the hope that the government of Pakistan as a party to the Kashmir dispute will step up efforts for its resolution.
