ISLAMABAD: Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and the world over are observing the Right to Self-Determination Day, today with renewed pledge to continue their freedom struggle till it reaches its ultimate goal.
It was on 5th January in 1949 when the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution supporting the Kashmiris’ right to decide their future by themselves through UN-sponsored plebiscite.
The day will be marked by various activities including rallies, seminars and conferences to remind the UN that it must implement its resolutions to settle the Kashmir dispute.
This year, the day is being observed when occupied Kashmir is under continued military siege on the 154th consecutive day, today.
