"We the Kashmiri American Community, living in United Sates of America, are writing you in reference to the case of State of Jammu Kashmir for not only violation of basic human rights committed by the Indian government but also the Right of Self Determination of Kashmiri People under the UN Resolution # S1100 passed August 13, 1948 which granted them The Right of Self Determination through a Plebiscite conducted under the auspicious of United Nations.

" Currently, the State of Jammu Kashmir was controlled by governments of Pakistan and India. The people of Jammu Kashmir have been living in their State controlled by India and Pakistan since 1947 when the British India was partitioned into two States; Pakistan and India.

"Your Honor, we are requesting your intervention in this serious matter to bring India and Pakistan to the table and work to arrange the Plebiscite in all parts of the Kashmir to enable Kashmiris to exercise their Right of Self Determination," the letter concluded.
