The incarcerated Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Masarrat Aalam Butt, in a message sent from New Delhi’s infamous Tihar Jail said the UN failure to implement its resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir has resulted in the continued suffering of the people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
