Infiltration attempt foiled along LoC, 3 militants killed
At the same time, Aziz said Pakistan would continue political, moral and diplomatic support of Kashmiris until and unless Kashmiris achieve freedom from India. He said India could not suppress the vigour of Kashmiris for freedom.
India being a democratic country should give chance to the people of Kashmir to decide their future course, he said.
If referendum could be held in Italy and Britain, then why not in Kashmir?, he asked.
Aziz claimed that if plebiscite was held in Kashmir no Muslim would decide to live in India.
