ISLAMABAD: Minister for Communications and Postal Services Murad Saeed on Monday unveiled the plaque to rename the Kashmir Highway as ‘Srinagar Highway’ to express solidarity with people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) facing the worst ever suppression since August 5, 2019.
Addressing the road renaming ceremony here, the minister said it would be the road leading to Srinagar. India had taken an illegal, immoral and unconstitutional action out of frustration as its around-the–clock curfew, communication blackouts, arrests, killings and forceful suppression of the protesters fell flat before the indomitable spirit and struggle of the Kashmiri people, whose commitment was getting stronger with every intensive move of the so-called secular state, he said.
He said Prime Minister Imran Khan, in his speech at the Parliament in August last year, had expressed serious concerns that India’s August 5 action would not only affect the people of Kashmir but also minorities living in India, and that had proven correct in due course of time.
