The New York State Assembly has moved a resolution calling on Governor Andrew Cuomo to announce February 5 as Kashmir American Day.
The resolution, sponsored by Assembly-member Nader Sayegh and 12 other lawmakers, says that the Kashmiri community has overcome adversity, shown determination and proved themselves as one of the pillars of the New York immigrant communities.
The resolution added that the State of New York efforts to champion human rights including the freedom of religion, movement and expression for all Kashmiri people, which are embedded within the US Constitution, through the recognition of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious identities.
Responding to the move, India expressed concern over attempts being made by ‘vested interests that aim to misrepresent Jammu and Kashmir’s rich cultural and social mosaic. The Centre expressed concern and said it would engage with the New York State officials on all matters.
