Kashmir Solidarity Day’06 April 2018 (President of Pakistan’s Message)

Updates
No.120/2018
Office of the Spokesperson
Press Release
 
Message by the President of Pakistan on the ‘Kashmir Solidarity Day’06 April 2018
The Government and the people of Pakistan reaffirm their continued and resolute moral, diplomatic and political support to the oppressed people of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir in their valiant struggle for the fundamental right to self determination.
 
The recent mindless killing spree carried out by the Indian security forces that took away lives of more than 20 Kashmiri youth and injured in excess of 200 unarmed protestors are a testament to the atrocities being perpetrated against the innocent Kashmiris. In their historic struggle, the courageous and determined people of IOK have rendered unparalleled sacrifices. Indian state terrorism has failed to deter the people of IoK from their struggle for freedom from Indian oppression.
Pakistan calls upon the international community to be cognizant of its responsibilities in the matter and urge India to facilitate the visit of independent Fact Finding teams of OHCHR and IPHRC to look into the gross human rights violations in IoK being perpetrated by Indian occupation forces and to fulfill its obligations under UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir.

Kashmir Solidarity Day’06 April (Foreign Minister’s Message)

Updates
                                          No.118/2018
Office of the Spokesperson
Press Release
 
Message by the Foreign Minister of Pakistan on the ‘Kashmir Solidarity Day’ 06 April, 2018
For the last 70 years the valiant people of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir are waging a heroic struggle against Indian oppression, for the realization of the inalienable right to self-determination which has been envisaged in the United Nations Security Council resolutions. These resolutions remain unimplemented because India has backed out of its commitments and wants to continue with subjugation and oppression of the Kashmiri people.
 
 
The recent killings of 20 unarmed civilians in IoK, are again a manifestation of the Indian policy of trying to resolve the disputes through the barrel of the gun. The massacre carried out by the Indian occupation forces is totally unacceptable and should be unequivocally condemned by the international community and human rights community around the world. The people of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir are being deprived of the basic rights to life and self-determination.
 
 
The courageous people of IoK have rendered unmatched sacrifices in this indigenous struggle. The atrocious Indian brutalities have failed to suppress their inviolable spirit. On this day, the Government and people of Pakistan and the people across the world salute the Kashmiri people for their courage, bravery and persistence in the just struggle against Indian occupation and reiterate the continued and steadfast political, moral and diplomatic support to them.
 
Pakistan reminds the international community of its responsibilities and urges them to fulfill their promise made with the people of Jammu and Kashmir by implementing UN Security Council resolutions. To investigate the gross human rights abuses, International community should urge India to give access to the Fact Finding Missions of OHCHR and IPHRC to Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir. 
 
Jammu and Kashmir is the core dispute between India and Pakistan and peace in the region will remain elusive until its resolution, in accordance with the will of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
