Shawl thanks OIC for voicing in
Favour of Kashmiris
Professor Nazir Ahmad Shawl, the Executive Director of
Kashmir Centre London, has thanked the Organisation of
Islamic Conference for raising a voice in favour of
the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Professor Nazir Ahmad Shawl in a statement issued in
London said that it was necessary for the OIC to reach
out to the government of India requesting it to
provide a greater political space to people of Jammu
and Kashmir, revoke all draconian laws and release all
political prisoners.
He said that the OIC could help the people of Kashmir
restore their movement to freely travel in all parts
of the territory. It could also help in the resumption
of the India and Pakistan engagement, he added, adding

inclusion of Kashmiris in the engagement.

India and Pakistan in building an atmosphere of trust,

achievement of peace, harmony, welfare, development
and freedom in the occupied territory. »
