Kashmir solution under UNSC resolutions crucial for achieving regional peace: Noon
Islamabad: Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir, Rana Muhammad Qasim Noon on Sunday stated that resolving the Kashmir dispute through a plebiscite in line with United Nations Security Council resolutions is crucial for achieving peace in the region.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in his message on Kashmir Right to Self-Determination Day, Rana Muhammad Qasim Noon emphasized that on January 5, 1949, the United Nations Security Council recognized the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination, by adopting a resolution endorsing their right to decide their future through a referendum.
He stated that the Kashmiri people have been striving for their right to self-determination for over seven decades, with innocent children, women, and elders making immense sacrifices in this pursuit. The Kashmiri people will persist in their struggle until they secure their right to self-determination, he added.
Rana Muhammad Qasim Noon urged the United Nations to ensure the implementation of resolutions concerning the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination, emphasizing that the oppression and repression by the Indian government cannot suppress their movement for this right.
He said Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan, and the Pakistani people share a deep bond with the Kashmiri people. Pakistan will steadfastly continue to support the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination and their struggle for freedom.
He urged the United Nations to acknowledge the legitimate demand of the Kashmiri people for self-determination in line with the resolutions of the United Nations.
