Amid the rising tensions between India and Pakistan over scrapping of special status to Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistani activist and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai called for a peaceful resolution to the seven-decade-old conflict
In a message posted on Twitter, she said, “The people of Kashmir have lived in conflict since I was a child since my mother and father were children since my grandparents were young. For seven decades, the children of Kashmir have grown up amidst violence…Whatever disagreements we may have, we must always defend human rights, priortise the safety of children and women and focus on peacefully resolving the seven-decade old conflict.”
Adding that she is worried about the safety of the Kashmiri children and women, Malala wrote, “I care about Kashmir because South Asia is my home — a home I share with 1.8 billion people including Kashmiris… I hope all South Asians, the international community and the concerned authorities respond to their suffering.”
