“If the long-pending dispute of Kashmir is not resolved through implementation of the UN resolutions, there is every possibility of emergence of any ‘big tragedy’ in the subcontinent due to unending rivalry between the two nulcear neigboring nations – India and Pakistan,” Shah, who continues to be under house arrest, in a statement issued to press on Monday said.

He also urged Pakistan Premier to “expose India’s hollow claims of religious tolerance before the world community”.
“The United Nations, United States, OIC and European Parliament are duty bound to take a first hand account of the situation in occupied territory of Jammu and Kashmir. They must see how an imperilaistic power like India has turned the paradise into hell, with the might of 7 lakh forces,” Shah stressed.
