We welcome President Trump’s mediation offer on Kashmir: KCEU’s Chair Ali Raza Syed
Chairman Kashmir Council Europe (KCEU) Ali Raza Syed has welcomed US President Donald Trump’s offer of mediation on Kashmir issue. It is noteworthy that US President Donald Trump has stated that he will work with Pakistan and India to explore a possible resolution to the Kashmir issue. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has welcomed President Trump’s statement.
In his statement, welcoming President Trump’s mediation offer for mediation on Kashmir, the Kashmir Council Europe’s chairman Ali Raza Syed urged the US president to immediately implement his proposal so that the Kashmir issue can be resolved peacefully in accordance with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
Ali Raza Syed emphasized that without a sustainable and permanent solution to the Kashmir issue, peace and prosperity in South Asia cannot be achieved. He stressed that the Kashmir issue must be resolved in line with the wishes of the Kashmiri people and the UN resolutions.
Chair of KCEU called on India to abandon its old stubbornness and accept US mediation, as it is in its own interest. He demanded that India end human rights violations in occupied Kashmir, release detainees, and allow international human rights observers to visit the region.
He further stated that recently, under the pretext of the Pahalgam incident, India has destroyed several residential houses of Kashmiris, harassed women and children, and detained over 1,500 innocent Kashmiris.
He demanded the immediate release of all Kashmiri prisoners and the restoration of their basic rights and civil liberties.
Ali Raza Syed alleged that India is using such tactics to influence the upcoming Bihar state elections and to achieve its other evil objectives. He accused India of orchestrating the Pahalgam attack itself and, without an impartial investigation, blaming Pakistan and carrying out military strikes in Azad Kashmir and various Pakistani cities.
He highlighted that in recent years, India has revoked the special status of occupied Kashmir and altered domicile laws to change the demographic balance of the disputed region.
He stressed that a permanent ceasefire and peace between Pakistan and India are crucial for the region, and resolving the Kashmir issue is essential for this purpose. Regarding the Indus Waters Treaty, he called for a permanent solution to the water dispute to prevent India from suspending the treaty in the future.
Chair of KCEU appealed to the international community, particularly the United Nations, to send fact-finding missions to occupied Kashmir to prevent human rights violations. He stated that Kashmir is a disputed territory and should be placed under international supervision. He also urged global human rights organizations to be allowed access to the region to investigate the situation.
