Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib has said that Prime Minister Imran Khan had played the role of an advocate and courageous ambassador of the hapless Kashmiri people by highlighting the issue at various international fora.
He said this while addressing the inaugural ceremony of a digital photographic exhibition being held in connection with Kashmir Solidarity Day, organised by the Directorate of Electronic Media and Publications. The minister said that Imran Khan presented the Kashmir case at every international forum including the United Nations, Organization of Islamic Countries and bilateral meetings with world leaders.
He said over 8 million Kashmiris had become prisoners after Indian step on August 5 and ensuing lock down. He said that neither media was free nor social media functional in the occupied territory.
Farrukh said that Modi’s RSS mindset could be judged by the form of oppression and barbarism going on in Kashmir.
He said that tens of thousands of Kashmiris have been martyred by trigger happy Indian occupation forces. They martyred the young icon of freedom struggle Burhan Wani but they could not suppress Kashmiris voice as every Kashmiri youth was struggling for freedom.
“Kashmir lives in the hearts of Pakistanis all over Pakistan and around the world and we stand with them”, he remarked.
Farrukh Habib visited the photographic exhibition and evinced keen interest in the photographs. The participants were also shown a documentary on Indian atrocities and barbarism titled “Kashmir’s Story”. Minister of State Farrukh Habib distributed prizes among those who took prominent positions in painting competitions among the students.
