President of Pakistan – Dr Arif Alvi addressed Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly on Kashmir Solidarity Day being commemorated on February 5th today.
Addressing the AJK Legislative Assembly, President Arif Alvi reiterated Pakistan’s support to the people of Kashmir in their just cause against illegal Indian occupation.
He also highlighted deteriorating human rights situation amid Indian atrocities and brutalities in the occupied valley against its Muslim majority population.
Furthermore, Arif Alvi also participated in a Kashmir Solidarity Rally in AJK to express solidarity with the oppressed Kashmiris living in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK).
Meanwhile, earlier in his message to mark Kashmir Solidarity Day, President Arif Alvi called for the resolution of Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the wishes of Kashmiri people is key to durable peace in South Asia.
Calling self-determination one of the fundamental rights codified in the United Nations Charter, the President said the denial of this right and subjugation of Kashmiris is the very negation of human dignity.
The demographic apartheid in the occupied territory by the Indian occupation forces is further violation of international law wherein the Kashmiris’ majority is being turned into a minority in its own land, said the President.
