Islamabad: President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif have reaffirm their unwavering moral, diplomatic and political support for Kashmiri brothers and sisters in their just cause to achieve the right to self-determination as enshrined in the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions.

In their separate messages, they urged the international community to move beyond mere expressions of concern for the Kashmiri people and persuade India to stop the human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

In his message, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar urged the international community to take decisive actions to address the worsening human rights situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

He said world should ensure accountability for India's illegal and unilateral actions, persuade India to implement the United Nations Security Council resolutions and allow the Kashmiri people their promised right to self-determination.

The Deputy Prime Minister said India's persistent defiance undermines the United Nations Charter, the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions and the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Ishaq Dar said Pakistan's efforts will remain focused on securing a peaceful and lasting resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.
