Srinagar: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has said that India's intransigence on the Kashmir dispute has endangered the peace of the entire South Asia.
According to Radio Pakistan, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement issued in Srinagar, strongly denounced the IIOJK Hindutva Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha's order suspending three Kashmiri employees from their services on fake charges. He said that the entire Jammu and Kashmir is a UN-mandated disputed territory whose future is to be decided by the Kashmiri people through a plebiscite supervised by the world body.
The APHC urged India to end its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir and let the Kashmiris exercise their inalienable right to self-determination.
