Terming Kashmiris as founders and protectors of the ideology of Pakistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider Khan on Sunday declared that Kashmir and Pakistan are inseparable. He expressed these views at a central function in connection with Right to Self Determination Day (5th January) under the aegis of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Cell at District Complex here on Sunday.
It was on 5th January in 1949 when the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution supporting the Kashmiris’ right to decide their future by themselves through UN-sponsored plebiscite. The day is being marked by various activities including rallies, seminars and conferences to remind United Nations that it must implement its resolutions to settle the Kashmir dispute.
The Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider Khan symbolically exercised his fundamental right, which UNSC has promised to give Kashmiris and casted vote in favour of Pakistan. ‘No one can recognize the importance of Pakistan more than Kashmiris who are scarifying their lives, properties and even coming generations in love with the country’, he stated while casting the vote. He added that India, despite its worst atrocities and state terrorism, miserably failed to eliminate the eternal love for Pakistan from the hearts of Kashmiri people.
People of Jammu & Kashmir living at both sides of the line of control and rest of the world observed the right of self determination day on Sunday with renewal of the pledge to continue their ongoing indigenous struggle with full vigor for securing their legitimate right of self determination through implementation of the U.N resolutions.
This year the right of self determination day was observed when India, by openly violating and denying all international norms and commitments including the United Nations resolutions on Kashmir, abrogated the special status of the internationally-acknowledged disputed state of the Himalayan state of Jammu & Kashmir through scrapping article 370 and 35-A of her own constitution since here August 05 last year sinister act by turning entire Indian held Kashmir valley in to world’s largest prison for the last 154 days on Monday through imprisoning entire innocent population in the bleeding valley into their houses and imposing indefinite curfew and com0plete information blockade since the above bleak day of the history of the disputed Himalayan state.
