Kashmir is a political not a territorial dispute: APHC-AJK


Islamabad, July 01 (KMS): The convener of All Parties Hurriyet Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter, Mehmood Ahmed Saghar has said that Kashmir is a political issue and not a territorial dispute between India and Pakistan.

Mehmood Saghar said in a statement in Islamabad said, “India and Pakistan are parties to the dispute, however as a principal party to the issue, Kashmiris have the right to decide their fate through free, fair and impartial plebiscite promised to them by the international community and the leadership of India. Kashmir issue cannot be resolved bilaterally.”

Condemning the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh’s assertion that Pakistan should ignore Kashmir, Mehmood Ahmad Saghar said that the Kashmiris would continue their liberation struggle against all odds. “Instead of issuing statements India should accept the ground realities and resolve the core issue of Kashmir peacefully in accordance with the aspirations of Kashmiri people,” the statement said.
