ISLAMABAD, August 04 (SABAH): Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Engineer Amir Muqam has reiterated Pakistan’s moral, diplomatic, and political support to Kashmiris for their right to self-determination.
Amir Muqam was addressing a joint news conference with Coordinator to PM on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Shabbir Ahmed Usmani, All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Kashmir and Pakistan Convener Ghulam Muhammad Safi and other APHC leaders in Islamabad on Sunday.
The Minister said the New Delhi regime had attempted to alter the demography of the Occupied Kashmir by revoking the Article 370 and 35-A of the Indian Constitution on 5 August 2019.
Amir Muqam further said India has been committing atrocities in the occupied Kashmiris since 1947 but it could not succeed in suppressing the freedom struggle of the Kashmiri people.
He said Youm-e-Istehsal will be observed across Pakistan tomorrow (Monday) against India’s illegal acts on 5th August 2019.
The Minister urged the United Nations to ensure implementation of its Security Council’s resolutions on Kashmir. He also called upon the OIC and other human rights bodies to play their due role in ending the ongoing Indian oppression against Kashmiris.
He said Kashmiris should be given an opportunity to exercise their right to self-determination through a UN-brokered plebiscite to decide their fate.
