Dr. Rizwan Naseer (IR Expert): Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognized dispute, the resolution of which has been on the agenda of the United Nations since 1948. World is well aware of the fact that Kashmir dispute is a nuclear flashpoint between Pakistan and India. According to the UN resolutions, the Kashmir issue must be resolved as per aspirations of Kashmiri people. The present Indian Prime Minister is known as Butcher of Gujarat and he was not allowed to enter the United States for a long time due to the massacre of Muslims in Gujarat. The recent statement of Narendra Modi is the testament of the unilateral and unconstitutional act of the Indian government of abrogating the special status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and the world community must take notice of it. Many Indian intellectuals have criticized Modi's policies.

Waheed Ahmed (Former Ambassador): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto during their recent visits to New York held interaction with the international leaders and informed them of the human rights violations in IIOJ&K. The world considers the Kashmir conflict as an international dispute. Sooner or later, India will have to sit on the negotiation table and the Kashmir issue will be resolved in accordance with the UN resolutions. Pakistan should continue highlighting the Kashmir issue on all international forums. The European Union must raise its voice in the support of Kashmiris as it is the main bone of contention between the two nuclear powers. Kashmir Committees being constituted in the European parliaments indicate that European nations are interested in resolution of Kashmir issue as per UN resolutions.
