KABUL — The Embassy of Pakistan in Kabul observed Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir with a ceremony reaffirming Pakistan’s unwavering diplomatic, political, and moral support for the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination.
Addressing the event, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Afghanistan, Ubaid-ur-Rehman Nizamani, said Pakistan’s consistent support for the Kashmiri cause remains a cornerstone of its foreign policy. He stressed that Pakistan will continue to raise the issue of the fundamental rights of Kashmiris at every relevant international forum.
Ambassador Nizamani stated that India has failed to gain either domestic or international legitimacy for its illegal and hegemonic actions in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). He said the Kashmiri people remain steadfast in resisting India’s attempts to alter the demographic composition of the occupied territory.
He further remarked that the unity of Kashmiris across the region sends a clear message that they will continue their struggle until their legitimate right to self-determination is realized. He added that India’s coercive and draconian policies have only strengthened the resolve of the Kashmiri people.
During the ceremony, messages from President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, and Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar were read out. A documentary highlighting India’s illegal actions in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir was also screened.
