According to Kashmir Media Service, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor during his visit to Srinagar in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) described the UN-recognized disputed territory as an \u201cimportant part of India\u201d.<\/p>\n
The JKLF chief spokesman, Muhammad Rafiq Dar, in a statement termed the ambassador\u2019s statement as contrary to the decades long official position of the US governments.<\/p>\n
He said the statement also overlooked the pending UNSC resolutions on Kashmir dispute and disregarded the well recognised people\u2019s right to self-determination for the attainment of which the people of the UN recognised disputed Jammu Kashmir have rendered unprecedented sacrifices during their peaceful struggle for freedom.<\/p>\n
He said the US Ambassador’s visit to Srinagar under protocol followed by such irresponsible remarks is being considered by the people of Jammu Kashmir as tantamount to rubbing salt to their injuries.<\/p>\n
The JKLF chief spokesman said US diplomats in the past would always engage with the leadership of the pro-freedom camp during their visits in Srinagar, and besides condemning the gross human rights violations they would clearly state Kashmir as an unresolved disputed territory.<\/p>\n
The US President Trump\u2019s recent offer for mediation on Kashmir, on the end of May 2025 short war between India and Pakistan, is a glaring example of the county\u2019s official position on Kashmir, the statement read, he added.<\/p>\n
Rafiq Dar urged that the early, democratic, sustainable, permanent and just resolution of the Kashmir dispute through dialogue between all the three stakeholders ( India, Pakistan and the true representatives of Jammu Kashmir) is in the interest of regional as well as world peace.<\/p>\n
JKLF is committed to peaceful struggle until the people of entire Jammu Kashmir exercise their birthright to self-determination, and get a chance to shape their future in accordance with their free will and aspirations, he emphasised.<\/p>\n
He appealed to the international community, especially the US, to play a role in the early settlement of the Kashmir dispute so that permanent peace is restored in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
