ISLAMABAD—Chairman of the Pakistan Awaami Quwat Party and Chairman of Rawal General & Dental Hospital and Rawal Foundation, Khaqan Waheed Khawaja, said that August 5 (Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir) serves as a reminder of India’s unilateral decision in 2019 to revoke the special constitutional status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

He also urged the international community to take notice of the situation in IIOJK and play its role in ensuring the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination.
