The president of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Sardar Muhammad Anwar Khan, has urged India to withdraw its troops from occupied Kashmir for the peaceful settlement of the Kashmir issue.
In an interview with Arab television on Sunday, he said if Indian government wants to establish peace and harmony in the region especially for the peoples of Pakistan and India then it was necessary that India should withdraw its troops from occupied Kashmir immediately.
The AJK president said the dialogue process between the two countries - India and Pakistan - was based on Kashmir issue so that the Indian government should stop its state-terrorism against the innocent Kashmir people in occupied valley.
Answering a question about Kashmiris inclusion in ongoing dialogue process between India and Pakistan, he made it clear that Kashmiris was the third party of the issue so their inclusion in dialogue process was essential for both countries.
He urged the Indian government to realise the reality of the Kashmir issue during the dialogue, and asked the Indian leadership to play a positive role in the resolution of the issue.
Answering another question about Middle East peace process, Sardar Muhammad Anwar Khan said like India, the Israeli government was involved in human rights violation in Middle East, and its state-terrorism against innocent Palestinian people continues.
The AJK President said if the world community especially, United State of America, United Kingdom, and United Nations were sincere to establish peace in the world then it is necessary for them to combat Indian and Israeli government state-terrorism first.
