ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari has paid tributes to our Kashmiris for their unparalleled sacrifices, both during the Pakistan Movement and in the ongoing struggle for their freedom from Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
In his message for the nation on Pakistan Day, the president said, “On this auspicious occasion of Pakistan Day, I extend heartfelt greetings and best wishes to each one of you.”
“Today, as we commemorate the historic passage of the Pakistan Resolution on 23rd March 1940, a day that laid the foundation for the creation of our beloved nation and an independent homeland, let us reflect on our journey, celebrate our achievements, and reaffirm our commitment to a prosperous and united Pakistan.”
He said the people of IIOJK were enduring the worst form of repression and state-sponsored terrorism at the hands of Indian occupation forces, aggravated by the Hindutva agenda, exemplified by the unilateral revocation of Article 370 and 35A.”
“The key to durable peace in South Asia is the resolution of the dispute in accordance with the United Nations Security Council Resolutions. Pakistan, on its part, stands committed to extending all kinds of moral and diplomatic support until the oppressed people get their right to self-determination.”
The president added: “Similarly, Pakistan is deeply concerned over the indiscriminate killing of innocent Palestinians and persistent attacks on educational institutions and hospitals by the Israeli forces. Pakistan remains steadfast in its principled support for the establishment of an independent, viable, and contiguous state of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.”
