Expressing solidarity with the people of Indian-held Kashmir, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah Friday urged the international community to raise voice against the violation of human rights by Indian government in the occupied valley. He said that the people of Kashmir have been struggling for their right of self-determination from last 60 years. Instead of agreeing to hold a plebiscite in the held Kashmir the Indian government amended its constitution and balkanized the occupied Kashmir. “This balkanization is not acceptable to the people of Pakistan and the international community, particularly those who upheld human rights,” he said. Shah recalling the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan said it resulted in the disintegration of the USSR into different countries.
