He further said Ms Saima Suleman and Khwaja Suleman are shining examples of this struggle, who have dedicated their lives for the right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people.
Syed Yousuf Naseem said efforts made by Ms Saima Suleman for highlighting the issues and struggles of Kashmiri women in the UK and Europe will be written in golden letters in history. Kashmiri women sacrificed their lives, lost their sons and brothers, and are still enduring the hardships of imprisonment, he added.
