Plebiscite Resolutions passed by U.N.O. Therefore, by no law all over the world or morals, India can justify the presence of its troops in Jammu and Kashmir be justifiedâ€.
PPP Chief said, “We believe that Pak-India dialogue is imperative in which the participation of Kashmiri leadership of Hurriyat Conference in any result-oriented dialogue process is a must. He, however, said that before initiating talks, India should create conducive atmosphere by taking steps like demilitarization, repeal of black laws, put an end to human rights violations in the occupied territory and release all illegally detained youth, pro-freedom leaders and activistsâ€.
Mr. War said that Jammu and Kashmir has assumed the shape of an International Conflict ,therefore, the intervention of superpower nations like United States of American and China is unavoidable and in accordance with golden principles of United Nations Charter in order to maintain International Peace and Security .
