The Charge de’affairs of the High Commission of Pakistan in Nigeria, Riaz Chughtai, has asked the United Nations (UN) to push for the right of the people of Kashmir for self-determination.
Mr Chughtai made the appeal on Friday at a private ceremony at the Pakistani High Commission, Abuja, held in solidarity with the people of Kashmir in their struggle for self-determination.
He said Pakistan marks the ‘Kashmir Black Day’ every October 27, to remind the world of the struggle of the people of that region.
Mr Chughtai said the UN had passed multiple resolutions to allow the fate of the State of Jammu and Kashmir to be determined through free and impartial referendum conducted under the auspices of the UN.
According to him, numerous international organisations, including the UN Special Rapporteurs have reported gross rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir.
He urged the international community including the UN, Civil Society Organisations, media and human right organisations to ensure that the people of Kashmir are allowed to determine their fate through democratic process.
Jammu and Kashmir is a region administered by India and has been the subject of dispute between India and Pakistan since 1947 and between India and China since 1959.
