ISLAMABAD   -  Former president Asif Ali Zardari on Thursday said that exploitation of Kashmiris in India was a test of conscience of the world. 

In his message on Kashmir Siege Day, the PPP co-chairman said that the United Nations should through its charter restore human rights of Kashmiris.   

“Narendra Modi’s August 5 2019 offense is an attack on independence of Kashmir. Self-determination is a basic and democratic right of Kashmiris which will have to be given to them,” he said. 

Zardari said that if there was a PPP government, the President, Prime Minister and Foreign Minister would not be sitting comfortably. He said that no one is stopping Imran Khan from taking revenge from opposition. “Imran should also pay a little attention to Kashmiris. Occupied Kashmir has been practically made a prison for two years.”  

Zardari said, “We have to exhaust our diplomatic efforts at an international level to give Kashmiris the democratic right of self-determination.”
