Since 1947, Kashmir has always been a victim of International bigotry. Kashmiri conflict is always ignored by the UN on a global level. Be it India or Pakistan, the flaring tensions in Kashmir deserve to be settled down. The sacrifices of Kashmiris need attention and results. PM Imran Khan has always considered Kashmiris as free people. He has vowed to raise his voice for the rights of the people of occupied land. Recently Imran Khan has announced a referendum for Kashmir that facilitates their choice. What do you think of it? Would this benefit the people of occupied land? Let’s find the answers.
Referendum for Kashmir! What does that mean?
On Friday, PM Imran Khan guaranteed the Kashmiris that they would be independent in making decisions for their fate. In the referendum for Kashmir, Khan explained that Kashmiris could join either Pakistan or become an independent state. No one would force or pressurize them.
“I want to clarify to all of you today. InshaAllah, a day will come, when all the sacrifices made by the people of Kashmir, will not be wasted. God will grant you that right. There will be a referendum, InshaAllah.

Moreover, after the UN-mandated referendum, the Pakistani government will also conduct its own referendum that would let the people join Pakistan or remain an independent territory. Further, he also mentioned the prehistoric struggle of Kashmiris, stating that it started a century ago when they first stood against the Dogra Government.
