"It's extremely unfortunate that world leadership and UN are claiming to resolve the ongoing conflicts across the world but are ignoring the situation in Jammu Kashmir. Such silence reveals the dubious nature of the world body and leadership. It also is a contempt on this world institution. Until the weaker nations are not given the right to self determination, to find the world peace is impossible."
