Shah while hailing the efforts of former Azad Kashmir President Barrister Sultan Mehmood, World Kashmir Awareness General Secretary Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai and other personalities with regard to highlighting the Kashmir cause globally said the solution to this issue remains in only settling it through peaceful means.

He appealed everyone including Freedom Party members across the world to participate in Million March and make the program successful.
