Speakers at an event organized by the Kashmir Council in Stockholm, Sweden have called for a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir conflict.

They also called for ending human rights abuses in the disputed region and provide Kashmiris leaders a platform to express their viewpoint at international fora.

Pakistan’s Ambassador to Sweden, Bilal Hayee, said that the tragedy of Kashmir began when India occupied the State of Jammu and Kashmir by sending its army without the consent of the people of Kashmir.

He said the United Nations Security Council made it clear that the future of Kashmir would be decided by the people of Kashmir through a UN-supervised plebiscite.
