Replying to a question, Hissein Brahim Taha said being Secretary-General of the Organisation, his duty was to take this issue with all the stakeholders, and partners and to find out a solution of this long-standing issue.
“My duty is only to inform the Council of Foreign Ministers (CFMs) about the situation and thereafter they would find or suggest further line of action but most important is to find out a solution of this long-standing issue and for this purpose, I would also contact with India as well,” Taha replied to questions during the presser.
He expressed gratitude to Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry for hosting his visit.
Earlier, while welcoming secretary general, AJK President Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhary said the visit of the OIC chief was a source of encouragement for the people of Jammu and Kashmir and called it “a big day” for Kashmiri people.
Recalling his meetings with secretary general, Barristar Sultan said he held three meetings earlier, first in summit conference in March last year, second at Jadda in April and thereafter in Washington and New York on the occasion of United Nations General Assembly (UNGS) meeting and found him very sympathetic towards the Kashmiri people.
Sultan said on the occasion of international human rights day, he informed the OIC chief about grass human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) adding that the secretary general had always supported the right to self-determination to the people of Kashmir
