Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar on Thursday reaffirmed Pakistan’s moral, political and diplomatic support to the people of Kashmir, and rejected the recent verdict of the Indian supreme court calling it a politically motivated and a tool to consolidate Indian illegal occupation.
The prime minister, in his address at the special session of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, called for India to desist from consolidating its occupation, revoke the illegal unilateral actions of August 5, 2019 and not change the demography of the disputed territory. Chaired by Speaker of AJK Legislative Assembly Chaudhry Latif Akbar, the session was attended by AJK Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq and members of the Assembly.
The prime minister stressed upon India to halt the human rights abuses in IIOJK, repeal emergency laws, withdraw heavy military presence and provide unhindered access to UN bodies and the international media.
The prime minister, who was the first-ever caretaker PM to address the AJK Legislative Assembly, paid tribute to the martyrs of the Kashmir movement and those living along the Line of Control and suffered losses due to the Indian ceasefire violations.
He said Pakistan would continue to stand alongside the people of Kashmir in their struggle and wished them to enjoy their due rights.
