‘Resolution of Kashmir vital to peace in S.Asia’

In occupied Kashmir, illegally detained APHC leader and the Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement (JKSM), Zafar Akbar Butt, has urged India to settle the Kashmir dispute for establishing permanent peace and stability in the South Asian region.

Zaffar Akbar Butt expressed these views while talking to a delegation of the JKSM that visited Kot Bhalwal Jail Jammu to meet the party Chairman and other detainees. The JKSM Chairman said that the longstanding dispute could be resolved through tripartite talks including Pakistan, India and the real Kashmiri leadership.

He said that unlawful detentions and use of force by the occupation authorities could not suppress Kashmiris’ resolve to get freedom from illegal Indian occupation of the territory. “India is using brute tactics to suppress the ongoing liberation struggle but it will not succeed in its nefarious designs,” he added.

Meanwhile, the members of the delegation expressed serious concern over plight of the detainees. “The detainees are not being provided with sufficient medical and food facilities due to which they have developed various ailments in the jail,” they maintained. They said that the jail authorities were subjecting the relatives of detained Kashmiris to maltreatment.
