Resolution in favor of oppressed Kashmiris tabled in Iran’s parliament

A resolution supporting Kashmiris’ struggle in occupied Kashmir has been presented in the Iranian parliament.

According to Kashmir Media Service a member of the Iranian parliament, Ali Mathari, presenting the resolution said that all the Muslim countries including Iran had an important responsibility regarding the oppressed Kashmiri Muslims and the Kashmir dispute.

He said Iran could not remain dissociated from the fate and destination of Muslim Ummah. Ending special status of Kashmir was an important matter and the Muslim countries should support the people of Kashmir in this hour of trouble, he added.

He further stated the people of Kashmir are innocent and India is cruel because it is violating the legal rights of the Kashmiris.

It should be noted that the Supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has also expressed concern over the situation of Muslims in Kashmir, two weeks after the Modi government ended the special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 and split the state into two union territories.

Meanwhile, a US-based organization, Genocide Watch, has issued an alert urging the members of the United Nations to warn India against committing genocide in Indian occupied Kashmir.
