Islamabad: Ambassador Masood Khan, former President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and former Pakistan Ambassador to the United States, China, and the United Nations, has stated that the people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir are not alone, emphasizing that entire Pakistan and the global Kashmiri diaspora stand firmly with them in their just struggle for self-determination.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, speaking at events marking Kashmir Solidarity Day and addressing students, policymakers, and international participants, Ambassador Khan said that credible reports documenting human rights violations by India continue to surface, yet they remain largely ignored at the global level. He noted with concern that the ground realities in IIOJK are still inadequately reported internationally, allowing systemic repression to continue without meaningful accountability.<\/p>\n
Ambassador Khan stressed that Kashmir Solidarity Day is not merely a series of symbolic events but a strong and unequivocal reaffirmation of Pakistan\u2019s unwavering political, diplomatic, and moral support for the Kashmiri people. He emphasized that it is the collective responsibility of Pakistan\u2019s government institutions, political leadership, civil society, and information platforms to consistently expose the realities of Kashmir, including extrajudicial killings, destruction of property, demographic manipulation, and other violations of international law. He urged that Pakistan\u2019s engagement on Kashmir must remain a year-round effort rather than being limited to symbolic commemorative days.<\/p>\n
Ambassador Khan warned that Kashmir remains a nuclear flashpoint between two nuclear-armed states, making its peaceful resolution an urgent global priority. He advocated for structured and sustained dialogue between Pakistan and India, facilitated by credible diplomatic channels, to address the dispute in accordance with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.<\/p>\n
Ambassador Khan reaffirmed that the right to self-determination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir is firmly established under the Indian Independence Act of 1947 and multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions.<\/p>\n
He described the situation in IIOJK as one where the Kashmiri population has effectively been turned into a besieged society, subjected to arbitrary arrests, extrajudicial killings, property destruction, and widespread intimidation. He underscored that India\u2019s actions amount to serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe struggle of the Kashmiri people is rooted in justice, legality, and historical truth,\u201d Ambassador Khan said. \u201cPakistan will continue to stand with Kashmir until the realization of their inalienable right to self-determination.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
