The world should not “turn a blind eye” to human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu Kashmir (IIOJK), said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday, adding that the “desire for freedom cannot be stifled for long.”
To commemorate the valley’s valley’s conquest by Indian soldiers in 1947, he delivered the remarks.
The importance of the day was emphasised by Prime Minister Shehbaz in his speech, who claimed that it was evidence of “Kashmiris’ legendary fortitude and resilience they have displayed in standing up to the Indian occupation forces over the previous 75 years.”
He claimed that Pakistanis “pay rich tribute to Kashmiris today and pledge to continue supporting them in their legitimate battle.”
“The world shouldn’t remain silent about Indian abuses of human rights in the strongly fortified valley of IIOJK. Freedom’s compulsion cannot be repressed for very long, he remarked.
President Dr. Arif Alvi of Pakistan emphasized the need for an early reversal of the illegal and unilateral acts taken by the Indian government on August 5, 2019, which deprive the valley of its unique status under the Indian constitution.
The president reaffirmed the nation’s unshakable support for the just independence struggle of their Kashmiri brothers and sisters.
He said that IIOJK was still under military siege from India, which was made worse by severe restrictions on the people’s basic freedoms.
He claimed that as a result of India’s illegal and unilateral measures on August 5, 2019, the situation had significantly gotten worse over the previous three years.
The final disposition of the State of Jammu and Kashmir would be determined in accordance with the will of the people of Kashmir through a free and impartial plebiscite to be held under the auspices of the United Nations, he said. “These actions violate the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions,” he said.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Pakistan’s foreign minister, also praised Kashmiris for their sacrifices made in the fight for their right to self-determination and reaffirmed his nation’s commitment to continuing to support them.
According to Bilawal, “Oct. 27 is the saddest day in the history of India, which emerged as the worst dictatorship and colonial power in the world 75 years ago.”
He claimed that India was attempting to make IIOJK the largest graveyard after constructing the largest prison in the world.
In order to prevent India from abusing human rights in the occupied valley, Bilawal urged the international community to take appropriate action.
Additionally, he requested that the international community carry out its commitment to conduct a vote to settle the conflict.
The minister reaffirmed Pakistan’s ongoing moral, political, and diplomatic support for the right of Kashmiris to self-determination.
