Islamabad: President Azad Jammu and Kashmir Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry has said that the United Nations should play its role to help resolve the Kashmir issue in line the wishes and aspirations of the Kashmiri people. In his special message on the occasion of Self-Determination Day, today, the president, while referring to the unprecedented sacrifices rendered by the Kashmiri people, said that it was quite unfortunate that the Kashmir issue has been hanging around despite the passage of 76 years.
