“Due to my continuous house arrest, I’m unable to attend the various public contact programmes organized by the party. It is extremely shameful on part of administration to impose undue restrictions on my political activities. Given the situation, it is your responsibility to maintain public relations and create awareness among people regarding the political developments and conspiracies being hatched against the movement and pro-freedom camp,” Shah during the meeting said.
Commenting on changing global political scenario, Shah said, “India cannot keep its hegemony on Kashmir for long nor can it find a way out from finding a justifiable and peaceful resolution to this long-pending dispute.”
“As the world powers and institutions are making every effort in resolving the pending disputes of the world, they must not sideline the one of the oldest and sensitive conflict of Kashmir. We, as an oppressed and subjugated nation, reiterate our sincere and humble appeal to world bodies including United Nations, European Union, OIC and SAARC countries to stop acting as mute spectators and play role in resolving the Kashmir issue, in the better interest of maintaining and ensuring peace in the south Asia which will surely contribute to the global initiatives of establishing peaceful world otherwise it’s not hidden from anyone that Kashmir is a nuclear flashpoint between two arch rival neighboring nations,” Shah maintained, adding, “the peaceful solution to Kashmir issue is more in interest of India than any other stakeholder as it’s the root of all problems of this country.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel”
