Kashmiris on both sides of Line of Control and the world over will observe Right to Self-Determination Day tomorrow with the pledge to continue their struggle till achievement of their internationally-acknowledged inalienable right.
Call for observance of the day has been given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference.
It was on 5th January in 1949 when the UN Security Council passed a resolution supporting the Kashmiris’ right to decide their future by themselves under a UN-supervised plebiscite.
Meanwhile, in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, posters have appeared in Srinagar and other areas of the held territory urging the United Nations to resolve the Kashmir dispute according to its resolution passed on 5 January 1949.
They emphasize that the Right to Self-Determination Day serves as a reminder to the global community of their responsibility towards the Kashmiri people.
Some posters feature Pakistan’s army chief, General Asim Munir, and express the Kashmiris’ trust in the statement on Kashmir by DG ISPR.
The posters also highlight the importance of self-determination as a vital component of human dignity and freedom, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Human Rights covenants.
In Azad Jammu and Kashmir, a special session of the AJK Legislative Assembly will be held tomorrow.
The members will draw the attention of the international community towards its obligations on Kashmir and gross human rights violations by Indian troops in Indian illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
In Muzaffarabad, Pasban e Hurriyat and other Hurriyat organizations have arranged rallies at Shaheed Burhan Muzaffarwani Chowk.
