The chairman said that the emergence of Pakistan on the world map was a miracle. He criticised that Indian prime minister Narendra Modi is taking illegal advantage of being a bigger economy. The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) admitted occupied Jammu and Kashmir as a disputed region, whereas, US politicians are now raising demands to end the inhumane lockdown.

He said that the future of Pakistan and Kashmir are the same and a strategic plan is being envisaged for Kashmir dispute. The imposition of curfew in IOJK has crossed four months and human rights are being violated in the occupied valley.

Imam said that it is the responsibility of the UN for a peaceful resolution of Kashmir dispute. He also demanded the international community to play its role in the deteriorated situation of IOJK.
