President Sultan met U.N. representatives in New York: Discussed atrocities in Kashmir

New York (PID AJK) The issue of Kashmir is still on the charter of the United Nations. The Secretary General of the United Nations has repeatedly reiterated this and he is concerned about the violation of human rights in Occupied Kashmir.

These views were expressed today by the United Nations Assistant Secretary for Political and Peace Affairs Mohamed Khaled Khiari and the United Nations Assistant Secretary for Human Rights Commission Ilze Brands Kehris in detailed meeting with President Azad Jammu and Kashmir Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

President Azad Jammu and Kashmir Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry representing 15 million Kashmiri people in the United Nations said that if the Kashmir issue was not resolved, the credibility of the United Nations would also be affected. He said, in order to resolve the Kashmir issue, the United Nations Secretary General António Guterres should speed up his efforts because India had started large-scale changes in Occupied Kashmir since August 5, 2019 including changing the demography of occupied Kashmir and paving the way for bringing a Hindu Chief Minister there.

He also said that the international community should keep in mind that Pakistan and India are two nuclear powers of the third world and any small or big accident between the two countries could be a precursor to a major war that would affect the peace of the entire world.

On this occasion, President Azad Jammu and Kashmir Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry also gave a detailed briefing to the top officials of the United Nations on the issue of Kashmir and the latest situation in occupied Kashmir.

President Sultan said that the Prime Minister of Pakistan offered talks to India, but India had not given any positive response because the Indian government was following the policy of Hindutva, while atrocities were being committed on Muslims and minorities living in India.

He urged the United Nations to not remain silent and take its responsibility in initiating dialogue between the two countries (Pakistan and India) and in the same way, the international community should immediately stop the ongoing atrocities in occupied Kashmir.
