"Kashmiris have been betrayed by their leadership as well as international platforms like the United Nations," he said.

Mehmood stressed that the Kashmiris should be given a chance to "decide their own fate". He said that eight to nine resolutions have been passed by the UN in support of Kashmiris but no steps have been taken to resolve the issue.

Mehmood stated that India has again betrayed people of Kashmir by revoking of an article from its Constitution. He said that the entire population of Kashmir was locked down. He said that India has also been plotting against the rights of Kashmiris to change their population dynamics. He added that Prime Minister Imran Khan has "exposed India's reality at the international level.”
