Dr. Fai quoted Martin Luther King quote “We (Kashmiri) will remember not the words of our enemies\, but the silence of our friends”. \n  \nMr. Abdullah Gillani stated that Kashmiri diplomacy has failed to raise the awareness on the World forum that India is an occupying force. While the World response to Indian aggression of 5 Aug 2019 has been like it is India’s internal affair ignoring the UN resolutions on Kashmir. Security Council and World powers are completely ignoring the Indian brutalities on Kashmir freedom fighters. \nFurther Ph.D. Scholar Sheikh Waleed Rasool stated Kashmiri people are fighting for freedom from Indian occupation and it is not a mere struggle for civil rights. \n  \nGhulam Mohiuddin Dewan President PTI Lahore and Azad Kashmir’s Member Legislative Assembly (MLA) said we should think about the Kashmiri people lives in the current grave circumstances which are very important because after the ceasefire in Kashmir\, 2 or three Kashmiri’s die every day in Kashmir \n  \nMr. Ibrahim Hasan Murad believes that the Kashmir issue will be resolved by the Young Generation who has the capability to think out of the box.
