Shah Mahmood Qureshi pointed out the abiding threat to peace and stability emanates from Kashmir dispute which remains unresolved for about half a century. He said that the Indian denial to the Kashmir right of self-determination and its blatant human rights violations have led to frustration amongst the Kashmiri youth.
The foreign minister said that this is the reason that the freedom struggle in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) has gained momentum and caught the World attention. He said that what we are witnessing in Kashmir is the backlash of Indian atrocities inflicted on Kashmiris.
