Call for Peace and Resolution
The Prime Minister stressed that lasting peace in South Asia hinges on resolving the Jammu and Kashmir dispute. He called on the international community to pressure India to halt human rights violations, reverse the unilateral actions of August 5, 2019, repeal draconian laws, and implement UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir.
