He further said that the only solution to stop Indian state terrorism is the complete demilitarization of the Jammu and Kashmir.
Kashmiris will not remain safe till draconian laws like Armed Forces Special Powers Act and Public Safety Act are not repealed, he added.
“United Nations is waiting for the normalcy for holding plebiscite but we want to convey the world body that till Indian armed forces are not withdrawn from Kashmir there is no chance of peace and normalcy,” he said.
“More delay in resolving Kashmir dispute will further swell the problem,” he opined. He also urged liberation leaders to come on a single platform for the resolution of the Kashmir dispute.

He also appealed the Amnesty International and International Committee of Red Cross to put pressure on India to release detainees languishing in different jails and police stations.
