Gurpatwant Singh praised Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s firm stance on the right to self-determination for Kashmiris, stating that “your recent statement supporting the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination is timely and commendable.” He added that Pakistan’s position on Kashmir could serve as an example in supporting the democratic struggle for the Sikh community’s right to self-determination in Khalistan.
