Shah Mehmood Qureshi said when Kashmiri youth take to the streets, it is manifestation of their deep seated disillusionment and alienation from India.
He said Pakistan expects the OIC contact group to reiterate its call for sending OIC facing finding mission to investigate the gross violations of human rights.
He said we expect the OIC Contact Group to unequivocally reaffirm its abiding support for the Kashmiris and their struggle for right to self-determination.
