The JI chief was expressing his views in the Senate here on Wednesday.
He said that we have to move forward instead of paying lip service and take practical steps and take the path that will ensure the independence of Kashmir.
He said that all the leadership of Occupied Kashmir is in jails. 18,000 youths have been locked up in jails in a year. We have not been able to highlight the Kashmir issue due to weak foreign policy. What steps has the government taken regarding occupied Kashmir? The nation needs an answer.
