ISLAMABAD (APP) - Veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Geelani has urged the Secretary General of United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon to fulfil UN promise of plebiscite made by the World Body to people of Jammu and Kashmir more than six decades ago. Syed Ali Geelani in a memorandum to Ban Ki-Moon reminded the World Body of its resolutions passed over sixty years ago, the KMS reported. Geelani maintained that the Jan 5, 1949 Resolution had stated that the question of accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India or Pakistan would be decided through democratic methods of free and impartial plebiscite and the UN Secretary General in agreement with the UN Commission would nominate a plebiscite administrator with personality of high international standing. The veteran Hurriyet leader said, 61 years have passed and the UN has failed to live up to her promises and obligations. The resolution clearly makes Secretary General responsible for appointing administrator to organize a free and fair plebiscite but till date the august world authority and its successive heads have failed to the required job and the worst of all, the UN has failed to stop Indian atrocities on the occupied people, he added. Syed Ali Geelani pointed out that ever since the upsurge in the liberation movement in occupied Kashmir in early 1990, millions of people had repeatedly marched to the UN Observers Office at Sonawar in Srinagar, presenting the reminders regarding the UN promises and responsibility. He said that the Kashmiris believed that the UN was a real representative body of the world meant for conflicts resolutions and bringing peace to the world. He stated that now with a host of reasons the world peace and order was being threatened by various forces, the role of the UN in restoring peace had assumed additional significance. There is a general consensus among the world powers that South Asia is a region to reckon with, but on account of impending resolution of Kashmir dispute, peace and prosperity in the entire region is threatened, he said. Syed Ali Geelani deplored that for the past 63 years, particularly since 1989, the people of occupied Kashmir had been suffering hell under the Disturbed Areas Act and Armed Forces Special Powers Act. He stated that the Indian Judicial System had become anti-Kashmiris, who were sentenced to death or life on flimsy grounds. He demanded permanent solution of the Kashmir dispute, revocation of Disturbed Areas Act, Armed Forces Special Powers Act and Public Safety Act and an end to the human rights violations by Indian troops in occupied Kashmir.
