Miss Marvi said that during the ongoing Intifada Kashmiri nation proved that freedom is their only and sole option and they could not be suppressed by brutal force and intimidation of women and elders.
“The severity of the struggle in Kashmir demands that Pakistani government must raise the human rights violations on all international fora to condemn Indian violence. In light of upcoming visit of President Obama to India and in order to draw UN Secretary General’s attention we must make all efforts to focus international eyes on Kashmiri struggle. International community must not abdicate its responsibility towards resolving core dispute of Kashmir which is the salvation for peace and stability in our volatile region,” she further said.
She maintained that India should respect the will of people of Kashmir and the lingering dispute of Kashmir must be resolved through the fair and impartial plebiscite which already has been endorsed by the United Nations.
