Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday said the world needs to tell India
"enough is enough" with regard to its policy towards the freedom
movement in held Kashmir.
The
premier was addressing an International Parliamentary Seminar on Kashmir held
in Islamabad to discuss the prevailing situation in India-held Kashmir.
"Seventy
years of brutal repression and Kashmiri struggle in the face of that oppression
have shown cries of freedom cannot be stifled by sounds of bullets," the
PM added, calling for an end to the "continued suffering" of
generations in IHK.
Referring
to Burhan Wani as a "vibrant and charismatic leader", the premier
said that his "martyrdom has become a rallying point for the freedom
loving people of the territory".
The
oppressors' efforts "to silent that one voice have unleashed a thousand
more", he said at the conference organised by the Young Parliamentarians
Forum of the National Assembly.
He said
that a promise was made to Kashmir 70 years ago, not only by Pakistan and the
United Nations, but also by India to recognise the people's right to
self-determination.
PM Nawaz
spoke about the efforts made to highlight the plight of the Kashmiri people at
international fora and told the conference that Pakistan would continue to
support the struggle of the people in the region.
