The information minister urged India to fulfill their former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru's promise of a referendum in Kashmir.“…India cannot become part of the UN Security Council until it fulfils pledges made by Nehru,” he said.
Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman also spoke on the occasion, and urged the international community to play its role in helping resolve the Kashmir dispute.

Totally agree with this man. As soon as Pakistan vacates the occupied land and handover the rest of Kashmir to India, there would be eternal peace in the region. So, When shall we start?
@KashmirMuslim: Agree 100%. The moment Kashmir becomes a part of Pakistan, many of the so called Muslims will be called non-Muslims and will be bombed to death, along with their families, during prayers or at schools.
This infatuation with Kashmir has to end or Pakistan will meet its own end.
It is good way of running away from the reality because Pakistan was not divided due Kashmir issue TTP AQ are not due to Kashmir issue the Kashmir issue was never a hinderance in way of opening schools, colleges and Universities and are you ready to full fill the conditions of UN resolution 47 which stipulates that the Pak Army and all Pakistanis who entered Kashmir from Pakistan will vacate Kashmir are you redy. Please read UN resolution which is available easily and than comment.
@Saif:
Elections for the assembly in Indian-held Kashmir are not a substitute for a political resolution to the Kashmir dispute. Your own Valley-based parties like National Conference and PDP, generally considered "pro-India" , always make a point of saying the elections are for development and have nothing to do with Azaadi.
refrendum is been done already ...we Kashmiris voted over 70% in recent elections ...what is left now to talk about ..Pak should worry about Balooch people's referendum
Was it the Kashmir issue that gave rise to Taliban in Afghanistan ? Is it Kashmir issue that children in Peshawar were killed ? Is it Kashmir issue that Ahmadis and Shias are attacked and killed ?Is it Kashmir issue which caused death of 56000 Pakistani civilians by hands of sunni terrorists ? Eliminating terrorists and every state and non state actors supporting them will bring lasting peace in region, after which even Kashmir can be resolved by peaceful means.
We do not have this written in our history books .
I think Kashmir day is coming that is why we see such sympathetic political press release!!
How about the self determination rights of Baloch people ?
@Nadeem: leave India whats your opinion about pakistan
Pakistan should put Kashmir issue on back burner for some time and focus on its four main problems which are terrorism, extremism, corruption and break down of law and order. How can someone invite his relatives and friends to live with them when his own house is burnt down? If this is terrorists main condition to halt their activities in Pakistan, then its another story but I don't think they have ever made such demand.
This Darbari of Nawaz P. Rasheed, minister of disinformaiton, has no better thing to do.
Nonsense - South Asia consist of many countries not India and Pakistan alone. It is only Pakistan hanging from the issue for half century without any resolution.
If resolution of kashmir issue could have bought peace to the region, it wouldn't have been the cause of metric tons of blood spillage. The animosity between India and Pakistan is more deep rooted than just Kashmir. If people wish to fight holding religious books in hands, there is no solution, neither for kashmir, nor for humanity.
