Pak, India should resolve IoK issue by taking Kashmiris into confidence: Mirwaiz

Talking to Radio Pakistan on Friday, he said it is high time for Pakistan and India to resolve Kashmir issue by taking Kashmiris into confidence adding despite callousness of international powers, Kashmiris' courage is high as they believe their movement is based on justice and ultimately they will succeed to achieve freedom.

He said Kashmiris observed Black Day on October 27 across the world against Indian interference in Kashmir on this day in 1947.

He said international community has kept silence over severe violation of human rights of Kashmiris by Indian forces.

He said 9000 Kashmiris have been disappeared during last 20 years from Indian occupied Kashmir adding this situation is a challenge for international community, which claims to be champion of democracy and human rights.

He asked Indians to mount pressure on their government for the solution of Kashmir issue peacefully. He said India used all means to suppress Kashmiris, but it failed to do so, instead Kashmiris remain steadfast with their cause and commitment.
