Kashmir Solidarity Day to be observed tomorrow
Human chains will be formed at Kohala, other key Pakistan-AJK linking points
Islamabad: The entire Pakistani nation will observe Kashmir Solidarity Day, tomorrow, February 5, with a renewed pledge to support the just struggle of the Kashmiri people for their inalienable right to self-determination, as enshrined in the relevant resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the day will also be marked to expose the worst forms of oppression being perpetrated by Indian occupation forces against the people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Solidarity walks will be organized across Pakistan to convey the message to the oppressed people of Kashmir that they are not alone in their struggle for the right to self-determination. Anti-India demonstrations and rallies will also be held to draw the attention of the world community to Indian brutalities against the Kashmiri people.
Human chains will be formed at Kohala and other important points linking Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
In connection with the day, debates, declamation contests, and essay-writing competitions will be organized in educational institutions across the country.
Television channels will broadcast special programmes to highlight human rights violations by Indian troops in the occupied territory. Newspapers will publish special supplements highlighting the Indian atrocities against the Kashmiri people.
All Pakistani missions abroad will organize seminars and photo exhibitions to draw the world’s attention to the worst forms of subjugation and human rights violations committed by India in the occupied territory. The national media, both electronic and print, will air special programmes and publish special supplements to highlight decades-long struggle of the Kashmiri people against Indian occupation. Banners highlighting the plight of innocent Kashmiris have been displayed across the country, including at airports, railway stations, and along national highways.
The hearts of the people of Pakistan and Kashmir throb in unison, and Pakistan will continue to extend full moral, political, and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri people.
India has kept a major part of the internationally-acknowledged disputed Himalayan state of Jammu and Kashmir under illegal and forcible occupation since October 27, 1947, against the wishes of its people.
India is using state terrorism against Kashmiris, including extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detentions, fake encounters, and staged cordon-and-search operations. Over 900,000 Indian occupation troops have turned IIOJK into an open prison, but the desperation of the RSS-BJP dispensation to crush the indigenous Kashmiri resistance has completely run aground. The Jammu and Kashmir dispute remains one of the oldest unresolved issues on the agenda of the UN Security Council, unresolved due to India’s obstinate refusal to honor its commitments and its blatant disregard for international law and fundamental human rights.
India’s illegal and unconstitutional actions of August 5, 2019, are also in blatant violation of international law, including the UN Charter, the Fourth Geneva Convention, and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions. KMS-14R
