ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Chaudhry Anwar ul Haq, met with Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi to strongly condemn the ongoing Indian aggression in Occupied Kashmir. Both leaders expressed solidarity with the people of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir on “Youm-e-Istehsal,” condemning India’s illegal actions on August 5, 2019, including the revocation of Articles 370 and 35(A), which stripped the region of its special status.
Naqvi reiterated that “Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan” and criticised India’s blatant violations of UN resolutions and international laws, highlighting the oppressive measures imposed on the Kashmiri people over the past five years, including curfews and the enforcement of Article 144.
He noted that thousands of innocent Kashmiris, including children, the elderly, and women, have been martyred during this time, emphasizing that sustainable peace in South Asia is linked to resolving the Kashmir conflict.
PM Anwar ul Haq stated that August 5 exposed India’s heinous actions to the world, as international organizations and media are barred from entering the region. He called on the international community, the United Nations, and human rights organizations to play their part in stopping the injustices and atrocities in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Naqvi assured full cooperation in maintaining peace in Azad Kashmir and pledged continued support for security needs. –Agencies
