The event was attended by Federal Human Rights Minister Dr Shireen M Mazari who addressed a seminar and presented a potential strategic conflict resolution model for Kashmir. Youm-e- tasees or Azad Kashmir Day has been celebrated every year on 24 October since 1947.Dr. Mazari suggested that Pakistan should put forward resolution of Kashmir problem similar to Irish peace accord. The Irish peace accord known as The Good Friday Agreement (GFA) or Belfast Agreement was an agreement where the British and Irish governments agreed on referendum in Northern Ireland to get opinion of public whether they want to support the multi-party agreement or not.
This agreement resulted in accepting the territory of Northern Ireland as part of United Kingdom by Irish government for the first time. The Irish Constitution made amendments and recognized Northern Ireland as sovereign territory of United Kingdom. It’s high time the Kashmiris have such resolution to their problem.
Furthermore, Dr Shireen Mazari said Pakistan should request UN to perpend documenting all the eligible voters of Jammu Kashmir for the referendum. She strongly condemned the oppression inflicted by Indian Army to innocent Kashmiri women and youth. She recommended Pakistan to take practical approach on Kashmir instead of mere debates and theories.
