He appealed to US President Donald Trump to play a constructive role in resolving the Kashmir issue by the aspirations of the Kashmiri people to ensure sustainable regional peace.

JKSM vows to take Kashmir freedom movement to logical end
Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement (JKSM) has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to take the Kashmir freedom movement to its logical and rightful conclusion. In a press statement issued on Tuesday, the party spokesperson Dr Irfan Khan said no power on earth can suppress just and historic movement, which has been nourished by the sacred blood of hundreds of thousands of martyrs. "We are the custodians of their legacy and will continue their mission with full resolve. No amount of Indian repression can deter us from our political struggle," he said. Dr Khan said India has employed every tactic of oppression and brutality in an attempt to crush the legitimate aspirations of the Kashmiri people. However, the resilience and spirit of resistance among the people have rendered these oppressive measures ineffective. Over 500,000 Kashmiris have been martyred, and millions have been displaced as a result of Indian state aggression. Thousands remain imprisoned in Indian detention centres under draconian laws, while the region's most revered pro-freedom leadership is languishing in jails.
