Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi has said that Pakistan will continue to provide moral, political and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri people.
In his statement issued on the occasion of Black Kashmir Day, he said that October 27, 1947, is the darkest day in the history of Kashmir, when Indian forces entered Srinagar to illegally occupy Jammu and Kashmir and started oppression.
Sohail Afridi said that since 1947, the unarmed Kashmiris have been facing Indian state atrocities, but their determination and courage have become an example for the world. He said that freedom is the fundamental right of the people of occupied Kashmir, and the people of Pakistan stand by the Kashmiris in their struggle for freedom.
The Chief Minister called on the international community and human rights institutions to take notice of Indian atrocities and play a role in giving the Kashmiris the right to self-determination in accordance with the UN resolutions. He further said that the sustainable peace of the region is conditional on a just solution to the Kashmir issue, and the decades-long struggle of the Kashmiri people for freedom is unparalleled.
Sohail Afridi said, “God willing, this struggle of the Kashmiri people will definitely succeed one day. India, which calls itself a great democracy, has actually become a symbol of state oppression and repression, which the entire world should condemn.”
