- Says despite having world powers support, India failed to diminish freedom struggle
- Reiterates Pakistan’s resolve to support Kashmiris in their just cause of freedom
MUZAFFARABAD: Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar on Friday, calling the recent verdict of the Indian Supreme Court as a tool to consolidate Indian illegal occupation, said that such unilateral and illegal decisions would further stimulate the Kashmir freedom movement.
Anwaarul Haq Kakar addressing a press conference in Muzaffarabad, today, said despite having support from the world powers, India could not succeed in its nefarious designs of diminishing the freedom movement and resolving the Kashmir dispute according to its own wishes.
مقبوضہ کشمیر کا کوئی بھی یک طرفہ فیصلہ خواہ وہ کسی بھی قانون، اسمبلی یا عدالت کی طرف سے ہو کسی صورت قابل قبول نہیں اور نہ اس کی کوئی اہمیت ہے، ہم ایسے فیصلوں اور ایسے قوانین کو جوتے کی نوک پر رکھتے ہیں جس میں کشمیری عوام کا کوئی عمل دخل نہ ہو۔ کشمیر بھارت کا نہ کبھی حصہ تھا، نہ… pic.twitter.com/kP5yHu7OYF

“The movement is not diminishing and this is the biggest problem of India which again and again is trying to bury it through various tactics,” he said. He said more than 90,000 Kashmiris have been killed, over 1500 faced forced disappearances and pellet gun injuries, and thousands of the women suffered rape, while the human rights abuses were also documented in two of the UN reports. “Such painful memories cannot be forgotten for centuries,” he added.

To a question, the prime minister, expressing the government of Pakistan’s resolve to support the Kashmiris in their just cause of freedom, said this movement would continue with new strength and would remain consistent.
He said, during his two-day visit he held useful and constructive interactions with the Hurriyat leadership, members and cabinet of AJK legislative assembly, students, and journalists to inject new vigour and energy in the Kashmir freedom movement.
آزاد کشمیر دورے کے دوران کشمیری اور حریت قیادت کے ساتھ ملاقاتیں ہوئیں۔ طلباء و کابینہ کے ساتھ بھی بات چیت ہوئی جس سے صورتحال کو بہتر طور پر سمجھنے اور جائزہ لینے کا موقع میسر آیا۔ مقامی گورننس اور دیگر معاملات کی بھی یقیناً اپنی اہمیت ہے لیکن ہمارا اصل ہدف تکمیل پاکستان کے خواب… pic.twitter.com/KJuD77kTCL

During the meetings, input from various stakeholders, including the Kashmiri leadership, would be incorporated to reinvigorate the freedom movement, he said. He added that the unilateral and illegal decision, either by the Indian courts or assemblies, would never be accepted and Pakistan rejects such decisions.
He said Kashmir’s final settlement must be ensured through plebiscite in line with the UN resolutions. “Without it no other way is acceptable,” he added.
