Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq says Pakistan has always extended its political, moral and diplomatic support to Kashmiri people in their just struggle for right to self-determination.
Talking to media in Islamabad, he said that the ultimate goal of Kashmiris struggle is to join Pakistan. Referring to the Indian government’s designs in the region, he said India would never succeed in its ulterior motives.
He said that the Army Chief General Asim Munir’s recent statement has raised the morale of Kashmiris on both sides of the line of control.
Terming Kashmiris’ ongoing freedom movement as an indigenous struggle, the AJK Prime Minister said India has miserably failed in attempts to malign the Kashmiris’ just and legitimate struggle for the right to self-determination.
The prime minister said, “The barbaric and brutal occupation of IIOJK by India not only violates international law, but also makes a mockery of the globally accepted norms of fundamental rights and freedoms. The international community can no longer remain silent while India continues to perpetrate its oppression in Kashmir.”
“Despite more than seven decades of Indian occupation, including four painful years of continuous military siege and media blackout, India has failed to silence the voices of the brave Kashmiri people, whose just freedom struggle has further intensified. Three successive generations of innocent Kashmiris have sacrificed their lives and liberties but courageously continued to defy the increasing coercion of the Indian occupation forces. On the other hand Senior leader of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, has urged head of G-20 countries to take cognizance of India’s continuous denial of the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination acknowledged by the UN Security Council through its several resolutions.
