ISLAMABAD, AUG 05 (DNA) — Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar said on Tuesday that Pakistan has been advocating the cause of the Kashmiris at every forum to protest against Indian illegal occupation and expose human rights violations committed by Indian Armed Forces in Kashmir.
“Pakistan will continue its moral, political and diplomatic support to the Kashmiris till realisation of goal of freedom”, Attaullah Tarar reiterated the commitment while addressing the participants of the Kashmir Youm-e-Istehsal rally. The minister said that Kashmiri people were not alone in their struggle, the state of Pakistan and people of Pakistan firmly stood with them.
He said August 5 was the darkest day in history as on this day, India attempted to illegally usurp Kashmiris fundamental rights by abolishing Article 370 and 35A. The minister said that bonds between Kashmiris and Pakistan were eternal which can never be broken by any Indian conspiracy.
He reminded that dead bodies of martyred Kashmiris like youth icon Burhan Wani were wrapped in colour of Pakistan’s flag, which was manifestation of Kashmiris love and affection for Pakistan. He said that for past over seven decades in general and after August 5, 2019 India has been committing unprecedented atrocities in the paradise-like valley of Kashmir.
About military standoff with India, he said when Indain PM Modi cast a malicious eye, the Pakistani forces gave him a befitting response. “India was not only defeated in the military arena, it was also humiliated in the field of narrative and on the diplomatic front” Attaullah Tarar remarked.
Attaullah Tarar said that the victory in the Ma’arka-e- Haq has boosted the morale of Kashmiri masses. He said Pakistan’s Armed Forces destroyed India’s pride besides downing its war planes.
The minister lauded the efforts of Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit Baltistan Engineer Amir Muqam in highlighting the Kashmir cause at international level.
He said Kashmir was part of Pakistanis blood and an integral part national heritage. Pakistan, he assured, will not only continue to raise the voice of its Kashmiri brothers at every forum, God willing, but will also continue to fight for their cause all over the world. — DNA
