ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has nominated 22 parliamentarians as special envoys to highlight Indian brutalities in occupied Kashmir.

In a statement issued on Saturday the prime minister said he has decided to send these parliamentarians for fighting the Kashmir Cause in different parts of the World.

The Prime Minister urged the special envoys to ensure their efforts for highlighting the Kashmir Cause across the world so that he can shake the collective conscience of the international community during his address at the UN this September.

He said we will remind the United Nations its long-held promise of self determination to the Kashmiri people. He said we will also make it clear to India that it was India that approached the United Nations several decades back on Kashmir dispute but now it is not fulfilling its promise.

The Prime Minister emphasized that this anniversary of the UN ought to be a catalyst spurring the body into action.

He said the Kashmir dispute is the most persistent failure of the United Nations and world body must establish its relevance.
