ISLAMABAD: Chairman of the Kashmir Committee, Shehryar Khan Afridi said that regional peace is linked to the right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people and Kashmiris would soon get freedom from the illegal occupation of the Indian regime.
While addressing the participants of a seminar held under the aegis of Ittihad e Islami, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan Falah Party Afridi said that the EU DisInfolab has exposed the Indian fake news and the world now understands how Indian media and Indian propaganda machinery has been twisting facts about Kashmir.
He said the ceasefire agreement was reached upon with the Indian army to safeguard the Kashmiri population living on both sides of the Line of Control. Indian agents have been twisting facts to portray the Ceasefire Agreement negatively.
The minister said that recent statements of Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa about regional peace and development were also being negatively projected by Indian media. Pakistan stands committed to the right of self-determination of the Kashmiri people and Kashmiris would be provided support at all platforms till the Kashmiris get the right to self-determination.
Indian occupational forces were committing war crimes in Kashmir and the world must take action and sanction Indian army personnel and regime leaders for committing war crimes in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Afridi added.
“On Pakistan Day, the entire Pakistani nation, especially the Kashmiri brothers and sisters, must be congratulated for their steadfastness and continued struggle for completion of the incomplete agenda of partition of the subcontinent,” he said.
“We will continue all possible efforts for the independence of Kashmir. On Pakistan Day, we pledge to continue all possible diplomatic, moral and political support to Kashmiris,” the minister added. Pakistan Day reminds us of the sacrifices made by our elders in becoming this country.
Afridi said the ideology of Pakistan was the basis for the establishment of Pakistan, under which the Muslim leadership refused to be dominated by the Hindutva mentality and struggled for the establishment of a separate state.
The people of Indian Illegally occupied Kashmir are also celebrating Pakistan Day together with their Pakistani brethren, he concluded.
