Syed Ali Gilani addressing a seminar in New Delhi organised by the Committee for Release of Political Prisoners said, “All previous dialogue processes with India have failed without solving the issue as New Delhi didn’t want to find out amicable solution to the Kashmir dispute.”
He reiterated that the Kashmir dispute could be resolved only through right to self-determination and the people of Jammu and Kashmir should be given a chance to determine their fate. He said that Kashmir was not an internal dispute but an international one and added the interlocutors should be boycotted. He informed the audience that Kashmiri youth were being targeted by Indian police and paramilitary forces during the peaceful protest demonstrations.
Earlier, noted Indian author, Arundhati Roy, expressed solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir in their fight for justice and right to self-determination. She said, India needs as much azadi (freedom) from Kashmir as Kashmir needs from it.
