Washington, July 12 (KMS): The Executive Director of Kashmir Centre Washington, Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai has hailed the resolution unanimously passed by the European Parliament in Strasburg on Thursday on the unidentified graves discovered in occupied Kashmir.

Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai in a statement in Washington urged India to accept the EU demand, which called upon it to urgently ensure an independent and impartial investigation into all suspected sites of mass graves in the territory.

Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai on the eve of Kashmir Martyrs Day paid rich tributes to the Kashmiri martyrs specially those who were killed by the illegitimate Dogra regime on July 13, 1931. He supported the call given by the APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and senior Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani to march towards Mazar-e-Shuhada at Naqashband Sahib on Sunday (today) to pay homage to the martyrs of 1931.

Dr Fai further said that the recent successful protests against the transfer of Kashmiris land to non-Kashmiris was a magnificent symbol of Kashmiris’ commitment to their cause of self-determination. He strongly condemned the brutal repression of the people by Indian troops and police and expressed deepest condolences to the hundreds injured, tortured and killed.
 
Dr Fai stressed the need to include the Kashmiris’ genuine leadership in the dialogue process between Pakistan and India to find a just and lasting solution of the Kashmir dispute. He urged the Indian government to recognize that any peace initiative without the inclusion of the legitimate representatives of the Kashmiri people would not produce any results.
