Pakistan closely observing Indian state terrorism against Kashmiris: PM

Muzaffarabad(Noor Fatma/Shoaib Mehmood/Webdesk)__Prime Minister of Pakistan, Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and General Syed Asim Munir, NI (M), Chief of Army Staff (COAS) visited Muzaffarabad. COAS later visited troops deployed on the front lines along Line of Control (LOC) in Sarian Sector.

Upon arrival at Jammu and Kashmir Monument Muzaffarabad, PM of Pakistan, PM of AJ&K and COAS laid floral wreath at Martyrs’ Monument and paid rich tribute to the supreme sacrifices of Shuhada.

Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar on Monday said India was the only terrorist in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir and Pakistan was closely watching its state terrorism against the Kashmiris.

Addressing the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly on the occasion of Kashmir Solidarity Day, the prime minister said for last many years, India was presenting fake narrative and trying to weaken the struggle of local Kashmiris by wrongly labeling them as terrorists.He said there was a clear difference of terrorism and the people’s struggle for independence. He said the Indian leadership was also claiming Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. “On this day, I want to make it clear that we believe in peace in the region and we are showing maximum patience and tolerance and peace,” he said. The prime minister said Pakistan did not want any conflict in the region, however he made it clear that the country was fully capable of strongly retaliating any attack from the neighborly country.

PM Kakar said India must also stop the gross violations of human rights in the region besides releasing all the political prisoners. He said it should also abrogate all the strict emergency laws while it should also recall its heavy military presence from the villages and towns of Kashmir.

It should allow the people to hold peaceful gatherings in Kashmir and it should also allow the people of Kashmir to exercise their right to self-determination.

The prime minister said that India must allow unrestricted access to the UN and OIC observers, international media and human rights organizations to IIOJK to obtain first-hand information about the situation there; and investigate and report human rights violations.

The leadership acknowledged that the fortitude, resilience and unwavering faith of Kashmiris in the face of unabated brutality of Indian occupation forces in IIOJK had been exemplary. The brewing humanitarian and security crises in the IIOJK seriously threatens regional peace and stability. Pakistan would always stand with Kashmiris in their just struggle for the inalienable right to self determination in light of UNSC resolutions.

“India is attempting to change the demography of IIOJK through illegal administrative and unilaterally imposed draconian laws and security clampdowns. Such machinations cannot suppress the will and the yearning of the Kashmiri people to attain their legitimate objectives.”

COAS Emphasizes Military Readiness to Counter Full Threat Spectrum,

COAS was briefed about the latest situation along the LOC and appreciated the operational readiness, high morale and effective response of troops to Indian CFVs.

Addressing the troops, COAS reiterated that any aggression or violation of territorial sovereignty of Pakistan will be responded with full national resolve and military might.

“Pakistan Army is well versed with the full threat spectrum and is perpetually ready to respond effectively”.

COAS also mentioned the Indian state sponsored terrorism in Pakistan which now extended to heinous targeting of individual Pakistani citizens on our soil. Such callous disregard for international law and norms of international system was becoming a routine occurrence and India was now being called out openly by many countries in the world, exposing her sham credentials, COAS concluded. Pakistan would continue to expose all such attempts and ensure the security of its citizens.
