00:00This special status of Kashmir was taken away illegally by India on 5th August 2019.

00:09Nothing happened.

00:10We're simply talking about the human rights of the people of Kashmir and Palestine.

00:16India is changing the demography of Kashmir by making the Muslims from a majority to a minority.

00:24They don't take us seriously.

00:30India is changing the demography of Kashmir by making the Muslims from a majority to a minority.

00:38Now I come to two important political issues.

00:44One is Palestine and the other is Kashmir.

00:49Honourable Foreign Ministers, we have failed both the Palestinians and the people of Kashmir.

00:56I'm sad to say that we have been able to make no impact at all.

01:04They don't take us seriously.

01:07We are a divided house and those powers know it.

01:13We are 1.5 billion people and yet our voice to stop this blatant injustice is insignificant.

01:25We're not talking about conquering some country.

01:28We're simply talking about the human rights of the people of Kashmir and Palestine.

01:36The international law which is on their side.

01:40United Nations Security Council resolutions that back their right in Kashmir.

01:47The international community promised them the right to decide their own destiny through a plebiscite.

01:54That right was never given to them.

01:56In fact, the special status of Kashmir was taken away illegally by India on 5th August 2019.

02:05Nothing happened because they feel no pressure.

02:11They feel we can make a resolution and then back to our usual business.

02:17I'm not talking about altering our foreign policies.

02:21All of our countries have different foreign policies.

02:24But on core issues, I'm asking the OIC that unless we have a united front,

02:34we will keep these abuses happening.

02:38Like in Palestine, there's daylight robbery going on in Palestine.

02:46The only hope I have is because of social media.

02:49First time in western countries, there's awareness of what's going on to the poor Palestinians.

02:54In Kashmir, it's a war crime according to the 4th Geneva Convention to change the demography of an occupied land.

03:05India is changing the demography of Kashmir by making the Muslims from a majority to a minority.

03:13By bringing in settlers from outside.

03:15This is a war crime.

03:17Yet no one has pushed about it.

03:19Neither India has pushed, nor Israel.

03:23Because they think we are ineffective.

03:25So, honourable foreign ministers, let me just say that the way the world is headed,

03:35I'm afraid it's headed the wrong way.

03:39There's a cold war almost started.

03:43There is a chance of the world being divided into blocks.

03:47We 1.5 billion people, unless we are united, unless we take a united stand, we'll be nowhere.
