Pakistan on Sunday called for solving the problem according to United Nations Security Council resolutions.

In an interview to Radio Pakistan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said that Kashmir was a disputed territory and 20 resolutions have been passed by the Security Council on the matter. Pakistan had a consistent stand on the issue and has raised it time and again. Elections are not a substitute for a plebiscite and the U.N. resolutions demand the withdrawal of Indian troops from Kashmir, she was quoted as saying in the interview.

In 1949, the Security Council adopted a resolution which acknowledged the right to self determination and the day is being observed with demonstrations according to news reports. The Kashmir Liberation Cell in Muzaffarabad, PoK, plans to hand over a memorandum to the U.N. mission there asking it to implement its resolutions on Kashmir.
