President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Sardar Masood Khan on Tuesday said, "We welcome the All Parties Conference held in Islamabad to evolve a united position and response on India's hostile stance and aggressive actions against Pakistan; and its continuing violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms of the people of the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK).
The people of Azad Kashmir fully endorse the decisions of the All Parties Conference."
"We applaud the initiative and leadership of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to take all parties on board on Kashmir and Indian aggression. The people of Jammu and Kashmir also deeply appreciate the strong and forthright stand taken by leaders of all parliamentary parties of Pakistan to uphold the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir; and urge the international community to take concrete steps for the implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir."
"In this hour of darkness and acute suffering for the people of the IoK, Pakistani political party's decision to stand together would boost the courage of the besieged Kashmiris," he added.
He said, "The united stance taken by all political parties sends a loud and clear message to all-friend and foe-that Pakistan and the Kashmiris will not let India shift focus from its policy of mass killings and crimes against humanity in the IoK through false claims of cross-border terrorism and misrepresentation of Kashmirs freedom movement as terrorism." He also said that, "The people of Azad Kashmir particularly welcome the All Parties Conference's rejection of India's use of water as an instrument of war."
