Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference (M) chairperson Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Saturday urged the world community to hold the promised referendum in Jammu and Kashmir.

“Today on 5 Jan 1949, it is 70 years since UN Security Council passed the resolution to give the people of J&K the universally accepted right to decide their future through UN sponsored plebiscite,” Mirwaiz tweeted.

Urging the world community to hold the promised referendum, Mirwaiz said: “As we suffer forcible control and lose generation after generation to the dispute, we urge the world community to fulfil that commitment and hold the promised referendum. #RightToSelfDeterminationDay.”
