Youth Leaders from the Kashmir valley were at the National Press Club in Washington DC to talk about the development, peace and prevalence of grass-root democracy in India’s Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
The International Center for Peace Studies invited Mir Junaid and Touseef Raina from the valley for a panel discussion titled ‘Kashmir – From Turmoil to Transformation. The forum was focused on the developments and the ground situation in Kashmir. Aiming to give a grassroots perspective, Mir Junaid said in his opening remarks, “I can confidently say that Kashmir has been reborn as a land of peace, prosperity and progress. Jammu and Kashmir have seen many transitions that have taken it from a state of protest to a progressive union territory.”
