ISLAMABAD, (APP): Lobbyist-Youth Forum For Kashmir
Shaista Safi on Wednesday stressed upon the need to develop a
unified narrative on Kashmir issue saying Pakistani media can play
vital role to highlight the Kashmir cause.
While, talking to PTV news `On Kashmir Solidarity Day’, she
said that media should positively strengthen the relationship
between Kashmiris and Pakistanis adding that Kashmir has to be the
primary focus of Pakistani media.
She further said that this issue could not be settled
bilaterally, therefore, human rights and regional organizations
must also intervene for resolution of this issue.
Shaista Safi said that right to self-determination was
Kashmiris absolute right and demanded the international community
to play its much needed role to settle the long running dispute to
ensure durable peace in the region.
She also informed that on the women in occupied Kashmir have
to face inhumanity and go through traumatic experiences almost
daily.
The innocent women of the Indian Occupied Kashmir have
faced worst draconian laws, illegal detention, gang rapes,
intimidations and unprecedented humiliations, she informed.
Kashmiri women have to witness their fathers, brothers,
husbands and sons being slaughtered by Indian forces, she added.
She said the Pakistani nation would pay great tribute to the
sacrifices of Kashmiris given for the right to self-determination.
It is a day to convey message to our Kashmiri brothers that
Pakistanis sitting in different corners of the world have
attachment with the Kashmir causes, she urged.
