Condemning the silence of human rights organizations and the international community particularly the Muslim countries, Dr. Naqvi said that this beautiful valley has turned into a graveyard of innocent Muslims who are fighting for their right to self- determination.

The Ambassador said that the Prime Minister of Pakistan has raised the Kashmir issue at the United Nations and asked the world leaders if Kashmiris were not Muslims, then India should commit these atrocities in Kashmir.

Shedding light on the current situation in Kashmir, the Ambassador said that “Kashmiriyat” is under threat after the illegal action of the Modi government to revoke Article 370 of the Indian constitution, which protected the identity and Kashmiriyat of all the Kashmiris in India. This is an attack on the culture of Kashmir. The Ambassador urged the scholars, academicians and students to raise their voice against this injustice and in support of innocent Kashmiris.
