He said that United Nations (UN), Security Council and its worthy members should act as arbitrators not as mere firefighters and stop reckless shelling and firings on Cease fire line (LoC) in Kashmir.

He said that resolution of this long standing issue which is confronting peace and stability of south Asian region and the whole world can only ensure the lasting peace and stability of this whole region and as such international community should play its positive role to ensure an early resolution of this dispute.

He also congratulated the leadership of JKLF PaK and Pakistan chapter for their protest march against attacks on common Kashmiri citizens alongside ceasefire line (LoC).

“Our struggle for freedom is a long drawn struggle during which we have to keep our passion intact, show maximum restraint and keep treading the path of truth and resistance,” Malik added.
