Grand Muzaffarabad rally celebrates Islamabad’s diplomatic triumph
Pakistan’s civil-military leadership turned impossible into reality: Speakers
Muzaffarabad: A massive “Mubarak Pakistan” rally was held in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, under the aegis of the APHC-AJK chapter and the Refugees Representative Forum, to pay tribute to Pakistan’s strategic foresight, dynamic diplomacy, and growing global role.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the rally began from Shaheed Burhan Wani Chowk and concluded at Alamdar Chowk, drawing large crowds of residents who demonstrated strong solidarity with Pakistan and reaffirmed their deep-rooted emotional bond with the country. Participants carried placards and banners praising Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, with some describing him as deserving candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Addressing the gathering, APHC-AJK Convener Ghulam Muhammad Safi said that the vision, tireless efforts, and prudent strategy of Pakistan’s political and military leadership have achieved what once seemed impossible, rekindling global hope for peace. He said India’s attempts to isolate Pakistan internationally had failed, as Islamabad’s proactive and responsible diplomacy, in collaboration with friendly countries, succeeded in bringing the conflicting parties to the negotiating table.
APHC-AJK General Secretary Pervaiz Ahmed Shah said that Pakistan’s diplomatic achievements are now being widely acknowledged, expressing optimism about a positive outcome from the ongoing peace talks in Islamabad. He urged the international community to play a meaningful role in initiating a sustained dialogue process for a just and lasting resolution of the Kashmir dispute.
Ghulam Hassan Butt, central leader of the Refugees Representative Forum, congratulated Pakistan on its success in helping avert war and appreciated the country’s leadership, including the Prime Minister and the Field Marshal, for their diplomatic achievements. He stressed that India should abandon its rigid and unrealistic stance and help create a conducive environment for resolving the Kashmir dispute.
Shaukat Javed Mir, Spokesperson for the AJK Prime Minister, praised the people of Muzaffarabad for their enthusiastic expression of love and support for Pakistan, while
PML-N leader Syed Iftikhar Gilani lauded the APHC for organizing the rally to acknowledge Pakistan’s efforts.
Director of Kashmir Liberation Cell, Raja Sajjad, said Pakistan remains committed to promoting global peace and will succeed in its just cause. Central women leader of Muslim Conference, Sumaiya Sajid, noted that following its historic success in Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, Pakistan has now achieved significant gains on the diplomatic front as well.
Naib Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Muzaffarabad, Raja Gulzarin Khan, also commended Pakistan’s role. United Front leader Azmat Hayat said India is punishing Kashmiris for raising the slogan “Kashmir Banega Pakistan,” but reaffirmed that Pakistan remains steadfast in its support for the Kashmiris in their struggle.
The rally participants raised thunderous slogans including “Pakistan Zindabad,” “Kashmir Banega Pakistan,” “Long live Shehbaz Sharif,” “Long live the Field Marshal,” and “Long live the Pakistan Armed Forces.”
