European legislators and top experts have urged the United States to step up efforts towards the resolution of Kashmir dispute. Speakers at a conference on ‘Kashmir issue centrality of Kashmiris’ Rights,’ while highlighting the inseparable linkage between settlement of Kashmir and peace in South Asia emphasized the inclusion of Kashmiris’ voice in Pakistan-India dialogue process to resolve the decades-old conflict in accordance with wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Executive Director of Kashmir Centre Washington, Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai, Deputy Speaker of the Norwegian Parliament, Ola Lanke, Lord Nazir Ahmed, Member British House of Lords, and Kashmiri scholar, Dr Ghulam Nabi Mir agreed on the need for American and European lawmakers to help end blatant violations of human rights in the Indian occupied Kashmir. As an expression of his concern over unspeakable atrocities inflicted upon Kashmiri civilians, Lord Nazir Ahmed suggested that members of the US Congress, the Norwegian Parliament and the British Parliament should bring out reports on human rights situation in the occupied territory just as they had done in the case of conflicts elsewhere. ‘Time has come --- we all know how bad the situation is in Kashmir. The world must do what it can to encourage a fair settlement of Kashmir,’ said the Norwegian parliamentary leader, Lanke. He reminded President Barack Obama of his pre-polls pledge to help resolve the Kashmir dispute. He said that the history-making US President should pay attention to the South Asian tensions. Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai has called for appointment of a US special envoy in accordance with President Obama’s promise. He laid out four aspects that must characterize talks between Pakistan and India if they were to be meaningful: the talks should have clearly defined parameters; should be time-bound; must take into account wishes of Kashmiri people through their representation; and India must bring to an end the killings of the Kashmiris. Dr Ghulam Nabi Mir, President World Kashmir Freedom Movement, said India has tried to silence Kashmiris for decades through heinous means. » Withdrawal of Indian troops from IHK demanded In occupied Kashmir, the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has urged the international community to impress upon India to stop using Kashmiri women as a weapon to suppress the ongoing liberation movement. Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was addressing a function organised in Srinagar, today, to commemorate the 45th founding day anniversary of the Jammu and Kashmir Awami Action Committee, which was observed as the Women’s Protection Day. He said that incidents like Shopian would continue to occur as long as Indian troops were present in the occupied territory. The function was also addressed among others by prominent Kashmiri lawyer, Nazir Ahmed Ronga. The speakers asked India to withdraw its forces from the occupied territory.
