On the occasion, the Chairman Kashmir Council EU Ali Raza Syed said that the Occupied Kashmir is part of the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir and holding an international event in a disputed territory is a violation of the UN Charter and international norms.
He said that G-20 countries should be aware of disputed status of land of Jammu and Kashmir. They should also know that by holding an international event in Srinagar, the capital of occupied Kashmir, the Indian occupation authorities cannot change the disputed status of the territory.
Ali Raza Syed said, Kashmiris have grave concerns on India’s decision to hold the G20 Tourism Working Group meeting in the illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on 22-24 May this year.
Chair of KC-EU said, the reality of disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir cannot be replaced by holding this G20 meeting in Srinagar. In order to end the disputed status, it is necessary to accept the rights of the people of Kashmir
and to find out a peaceful and acceptable solution to the problem.
He said, through such attempt, India wants to continue its illegitimate occupation of Jammu and Kashmir but fact is that Kashmir’s problem is an internationally recognized issue and international law and UN Security Council resolutions are still viable in the context.
By strongly rejecting the Indian action, Chairman of KC-EU Ali Raza reminds the world that Jammu and Kashmir is an issue that has been on the UNSC’s agenda for more than seven decades.
Chairman of KC-EU accused India of disregarding the UN Security Council resolutions and violating the principles of the UN Charter and international law.
Ali Raza Syed demanded that International community specially the G20 member nations should be aware of continuous killings of the people of the occupied part of this land by the Indian occupation forces.
International community including European Union should play its suitable role for just and peaceful resolution of Kashmir issue, Chair of KC-EU demanded.
