Marking 72 years on Tuesday since the United Nations’ guarantee in 1949 for the right to self-determination for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, the Prime Minister urged the international community to take action against the well-documented human rights violations committed by India.
Prime Minister Imran Khan wrote on his Twitter handle in the backdrop of January 5, 1949, that despite sufferings of 73 years inflicted on them by brutal Indian Occupation forces, generations after generations of the Kashmiri people remain steadfast in the demand for their inalienable right to self-determination.
On 5th January 1949, the United Nations guaranteed the right to self-determination for the people of Jammu and Kashmir through an impartial plebiscite. We observe this day as a reminder to the UN & its member states of their unfulfilled commitment to the Kashmiri people.
