If we look over the past 81 years, Pakistan had passed through several ups and downs of its history. Despite few sorrowful events, Pakistan had got distinguish in several fields of life. Being an inherited Security perspective and Kashmir dispute, Pakistan remained very conscious about its security and put special emphasize on it and as a result Pakistan became the 7th Nuclear power and an invincible state of the World. Whereas, due to discontinuity of democracy, wars with India and less focus, our economy could not flourish as it should be. On this eve, we must be remembering our Kashmiri brothers and sisters facing heinous crimes and brutalities on the hands of Indian Forces. Kashmir dispute is a part of incomplete agenda of the division of Indo-Subcontinent. On this day, Pakistani nation reiterates its full moral and diplomatic support to its Kashmiri brethren for their just right to self-determination under the UNSC’s resolutions.
