New Delhi: Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said that Islamabad does not see Kashmir dispute as a geographical or border issue, but an unfinished agenda of the 1947 Partition plan.
In a letter to Kashmir separatist and head of Dukhtaran-e-Millat Syeda Asiya Andrabi, Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan's policy of providing moral, political and diplomatic support to Kashmir in it struggle for the right to self-determination.
Sharif also reiterated Pakistan's stance that Islamabad would continue to extend moral, political and diplomatic support to the people of Kashmir in their struggle for right to self-determination, acknowledged by the United Nations.
"Pakistan, does not consider Kashmir to be a geographical or border dispute but a dispute due to the unfinished business of partition of the subcontinent in 1947. The essence of the principles of partition is that the Muslim majority state of Kashmir should be given the right to self determination. This right has been recognised by the entire world through the forum of United Nations. India itself has promised the world community that Kashmir would be given the right to choose it's political future through the exercise of self determination. Backtracking from this promise would be betrayal of the promise done to the entire world community," the letter reads.
