In his address at a Ceremony held outside the PM Secretariat in Islamabad on Friday noon to mark Kashmir Solidarity Hour, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that the message from Pakistan is loud and clear that Pakistani nation will launch full struggle to win freedom for Kashmiris.
According to DND News Agency, the Kashmir Solidarity Hour was observed across Pakistan from 12:00 pm to 12:30 pm on the call of Prime Minister Imran Khan to express solidarity with the oppressed people in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
The prime minister said that today’s ceremony is aimed at apprising our Kashmiri brethren that we share their grief and pain and fully stand by them.
Imran Khan vowed that he being the ambassador of Kashmir will fight the case of Kashmir at every intentional forum.
Imran Khan said that another campaign will be started soon with the message to lift curfew from the Indian Occupied Kashmir. He said that during the campaign, important international figures and celebrities will be involved to raise the issue of human plight and tragedy in Occupied Kashmir at all international forums.
Mentioning the plight of Kashmiris, the prime minister said that around eight million Kashmiris are under curfew for the last four weeks with total communication blockade and shortages of food and medicines.
The prime minister regretted that response of the International Community is muted when Muslims face persecution. He urged the world to break its silence and stop India from its brutalities.
Imran Khan said that he truly believes that the trump card played by India will result into the freedom of Kashmir.
The national anthems of Pakistan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir were played at the start of the event, Dawn reports.
"Today, all of Pakistan, wherever there are Pakistanis, whether they are our students, or shopkeepers or labourers — today all of us are standing with our Kashmiris," the premier said.
"Our Kashmiris are going through a very tough time."
The premier said that the ideology of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) had taken over India, "the way the Nazi party had taken over Germany".
"They think that Muslims should be taught a lesson, that they are not equal citizens. Today, the whole world is seeing what is happening in Kashmir."
Prime Minister Imran said he has conveyed to all foreign leaders that if the international community does not stand up to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "fascist government", the effect would be felt in the whole world.
The premier reiterated that if India planned to take any action in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, "every brick will be countered with a stone."
