ISLAMABAD: On the occasion of Kashmir Black Day, Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi expressed deep solidarity with the people of occupied Kashmir, saluting their sacrifices and resilience in the face of Indian oppression.
In his statement, the minister paid tribute to the Kashmiri martyrs, freedom leaders, and families who have endured decades of suffering under Indian rule. He said the courage of the Kashmiri people in standing up to tyranny and injustice remains an inspiration to all.
Naqvi said that October 27 marks the day when India unlawfully occupied Jammu and Kashmir, calling it “the darkest chapter in history.” He noted that since 1947, Indian forces have turned the occupied valley into a place of cruelty, oppression, and state terrorism.
“The use of pellet guns, enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and the humiliation of women expose the horrific face of Indian brutality,” the interior minister stated.
He added that despite thousands of young Kashmiris having sacrificed their lives for freedom, the spirit of resistance has not dimmed. Media blackouts, internet shutdowns, and a continued military siege have transformed the valley into a prison where every voice of dissent is silenced.
Naqvi pointed out that international human rights organizations have repeatedly raised concerns over Indian atrocities, yet the silence of the global community remains deafening.
“The world’s indifference to Indian barbarism in occupied Kashmir reflects both moral apathy and a grave question mark over the global justice system,” he said.
Reaffirming Pakistan’s unwavering support, Naqvi reminded that the United Nations resolutions clearly affirm the Kashmiri people’s right to decide their own future. He said India’s defiance of these resolutions not only violates international law but also undermines the sanctity of humanity itself.
