APHC Urges UN to Settle Lingering Kashmir Dispute

Srinagar: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has urged the United Nations and the world peace and freedom-loving countries to urgently intervene and address the long-pending Kashmir dispute in accordance with United Nations resolutions.

According to Radio Pakistan, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement issued after a meeting of APHC leaders in Srinagar, has appealed to the United Nations and the global community to help settle the lingering Kashmir dispute.

The statement also called for the release of illegally detained Hurriyat leaders including Massarat Alam Butt, Muhammad Yasin Malik, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, and Aasiya Andrabi, who have been lodged in different jails of India and IIOJK.

The APHC viewed this as part of the BJP’s strategy to suppress the ongoing political voice and leave it leaderless and appealed to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to take steps to resolve the Kashmir dispute and uphold the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination, as guaranteed by UN resolutions.
