Azad Jammu and Kashmir President, Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry has lauded the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s “continued, unequivocal support” for the right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people.

Talking to OIC’s Permanent Observer to the UN, Ambassador Agshin Mehdiyev, in New York, he said the recent adoption of the Joint Communique at the ministerial level meeting of the OIC Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir on the sidelines of the 76th session of UNGA is yet another manifestation of the 57-member organization of longstanding support to the Kashmir cause.

The AJK President said the situation in the occupied territory has acutely deteriorated since the illegal Indian decision of August 5, 2019.
