Muzaffarabad: Azad Jammu and Kashmir Minister for Information Technology Sardar Zia-ul-Qamar has said that India has lost the justification to celebrate Republic Day without recognizing the fundamental and inherent rights of 15 million people.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, Sardar Zia-ul-Qamar talking to media on the eve of Black Day said, \u201cThe fascist rulers of India have not only violated the promise of the right to self-determination made to the Kashmiri people but have also openly breached international laws and basic human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further said Narendra Modi, who claims to lead the world\u2019s largest democracy, won the elections through religious extremism and pre-poll rigging. By following the RSS agenda, Modi has not only inflicted immense oppression on Kashmiri Muslims but has also made life unbearable for minorities in India. By revoking Kashmir\u2019s special status against the will and consent of the Kashmiri people, India has mocked the United Nations and Security Council resolutions, he added.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that the fascist Modi government did not even spare the shrine of Ajmer Sharif, a symbol of culture, love, and peace. By filing a case against this shared heritage under its own sponsorship and rewriting history, India has deeply wounded the hearts of its own citizens.<\/p>\n
He stated that on this day, Kashmiris around the world observe India\u2019s Republic Day as Black Day and expose India\u2019s true face to the world, highlighting the reality that without granting Kashmiris the right to self-determination, India\u2019s claim to being a democracy is the biggest lie of this century.<\/p>\n
The AJK minister further emphasized that Pakistan\u2019s participation in the upcoming \u201cUndivided India\u201d event organized by India\u2019s Meteorological Department could have significant implications for the Kashmir issue. This is the same department that, in 2020, released a map depicting Azad Kashmir as part of India.<\/p>\n
The Government of Pakistan must take this matter seriously and make a decision on participation in consultation with Kashmiri leadership, as no compromise can be made on the Kashmir issue or the sacrifices of its martyrs. The right to self-determination is a fundamental and recognized right of the Kashmiri people, which will eventually be granted.<\/p>\n
Sardar Zia-ul-Qamar also highlighted that Azad Kashmir is severely affected by climate change. Irregular rainfall has disrupted the natural cycle, impacting all sectors equally. Considering the current environmental challenges in Azad Kashmir, it must be acknowledged that priorities need to be entirely redefined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
