KOTLI: Prime Minister Imran Khan has reiterated that he would raise voice for the people of Kashmir, until the day they get freedom, reminding the international community to fulfill its promise of organizing plebiscite in Kashmir.
Addressing a public gathering in Kotli district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on Kashmir Solidarity Day, the Prime Minister assured that the entire nation was united for the cause of Kashmir.
“And not just all of Pakistan, but the Muslim world is standing with you,” he added. The premier further said that even non-Muslim countries, that believe in justice, wish to see Kashmir get its due right.
PM Imran also reminded the United Nations and the international community that they had failed to provide the promised right to the people of Kashmir to determine their own future.
“I am raising my voice on your behalf at every forum, and will continue to do so. Whether it is with the United Nations, world leaders, or European Union leaders, I asked the past president of the US three times as well to resolve this issue,” he added.
“I also wish to give this message to the people of Indian illegally occupied Kashmir (IIOK), we are aware of the acts of oppression and tyranny being carried out against you,” he remarked.
Speaking of India’s government, he said when the PTI came into power, “I tried my best that we give them a message of peace and explain to them that the Kashmir dispute will not be resolved with your cruelty.”
“No army can win against a united people. History tells us this. America, a superpower, could not win against Vietnam. They won their freedom. Afghanistan’s history tells us this too,” he added.
He said despite the lockdown in occupied Kashmir since August 5, people’s spirits are not broken and they continue to seek freedom. “No pro-India Kashmir politician can ever win the election there,” he assured.
Addressing India, he said, “Today, I say to you again. Come resolve this Kashmir dispute with us. The first thing you must do is to restore Article 370 and then speak to us. As per the United Nations Resolution, give the Kashmiris their due right.”
“However, I remind you. Do not mistake our hand of friendship for weakness. This country, Pakistan, belongs to those who bow to no one but Almighty Allah. We do not fear anyone but Him,” he concluded.
