19 July resolution marks Kashmiris’ unconditional love for Pakistan: Mehmood Ahmed Saghar

ISLAMABAD, July 18 (SABAH): While terming the 19th July resolution as a historic document, the convener All Parties Hurriyat Conference Pakistan chapter Mehmood Ahmed Saghar, has said that on this day in 1947, the Kashmiri leadership had decided to link their future with Pakistan.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Mehmood Ahmed Saghar said that this day had also assumed great significance in the history of Kashmir because the historic resolution was adopted a month before the creation of Pakistan and India under the Partition Plan on August 14 and 15 respectively. “This was the reason that the 14th August, the day when Pakistan came into being as a sovereign independent state, was celebrated throughout the state with great fanfare”, he said, adding that it was an undeniable fact that the state of Jammu and Kashmir is geographically, historically and culturally and ethnically linked to the state of Pakistan.

Referring to the Kashmiris’ matchless sacrifices, he said that the people of Kashmir have rendered matchless sacrifices to achieve the cherished goal of freedom. 

Reiterating Kashmiris’ pledge to take the ongoing liberation movement to its logical conclusion, the APHC convener said that, “Kashmiri people will never give up in the face of Indian state repression”.
