"Kashmir crisis has emerged as one of the biggest concerning matters in today s world. It was also the biggest ongoing human rights violations in today s world," he said.

He said remembering martyrs who gave their lives in the line of duty to keep us safe was our national duty. It was an important day for Pakistan and celebrating it in schools to pay tribute to our soldiers would help instill the sense of patriotism in youth, he added.
