The Chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has urged the United Nations to ensure a free, fair and transparent plebiscite for the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K). He said that the right to self-determination is an inalienable right of the people of IIOJ&K.

According to details, the PPP Chairman has made these remarks in his message on the occasion of the Right to Self-Determination day for the people of Kashmir in line with the resolution adopted by  the United Nations Commission on India and Pakistan (UNCIP) on January 5, 1949.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari further stated that the people of IIOJ&K have been subjected to inhuman Indian atrocities since seven decades.

“The silence of the international community over the brutal killings and torture at the hands of Indian occupying forces is seldom taken notice by the international community, which has disappointed the free people of the world,” he added.

The Chairman said that former Prime Ministers Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto had internationalised the Kashmir issue through political and diplomatic struggles and assured the Kashmiri people that PPP would continue to raise its voice for them at every available forum.

Bilawal expressed solidarity with the people of held Kashmir adding that issue of the held valley was an integral part of the PPP mission and the Party has the strongest political base in the Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
