Islamabad: Participants at a seminar organized by the Pakistan High Commission in London have strongly condemned the Indian government's illegal and unconstitutional revocation of Article 370 seven years ago. The event was organized today to observe "Youm-e-Istehsal Kashmir", denouncing India's unilateral and illegal actions of August 5, 2019, when it revoked the special status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

According to Radio Pakistan, during the seminar, speakers expressed steadfast solidarity with the Kashmiri people and called for an immediate end to human rights abuses in IIOJK. Emphasizing the urgent need for a peaceful resolution, they said the Jammu and Kashmir dispute should be resolved in accordance with relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions.

Delivering his keynote address, High Commissioner Tipu Usman called upon the international community, particularly the United Kingdom, to stand on the side of justice, urging India to reverse the illegal and unilateral measures taken on 5 August 2019 and honour the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions that recognize the right of the Kashmiri people to self-determination.
