Both Kashmiris and Palestinians are right in their cause
KARACHI: Both Kashmir and Palestine issues are decades old and yet to be resolved according to UN resolutions passed on both regional problems. Kashmir in South Asia and Palestine in the Middle East are a source of continuous destabilisation in the regions. The Palestinian President visited Pakistan and the Prime Minister of Pakistan assured of continuing the moral and diplomatic support for Palestine.
Pakistan has always been supporting Palestinians financially, diplomatically, morally and by providing scholarships to Palestinian students in Pakistani universities. Both Kashmiris and Palestinians are right in their cause and these regional issues can not be resolved until the superpower of the world does not take an interest in implementation of UN resolutions, that is, right of self-determination given to Kashmiris and withdrawal of Israeli forces from occupied territories and establishment of an independent Palestine state with pre- 1967 borders and al-Quds al-Sharif as its capital.
