In a statement on Thursday, on the occasion of the fifth martyrdom anniversary of popular Kashmiri youth leader Burhan Muzaffar Wani, the Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry said this day should serve as a reminder to India to end its egregious human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and take concrete steps towards the resolution of the dispute.
He said we also call upon the international community to play its due role in this regard.
The Spokesperson said Burhan Wani, through his sacrifice, has come to rightly symbolize the indigenous Kashmiri struggle against the illegal Indian occupation.
In a special message on Burhan Wani’s martyrdom anniversary, AJK President Sardar Masood Khan said the martyred commander would always be remembered on both sides of the divide for his courageous struggle against oppressor India.
The history of Kashmir will remain incomplete without the chapter of Burhan Wani because he is a hero and a glittering star of the liberation struggle which has been continuing for the last seven decades.
