Modi made huge mistake on August 5 last year: PM Imran
I will continue to be an ambassador for all Kashmiris: PM Imran Khan
MUZAFFARABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday addressed assembly of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) to express solidarity with innocent Kashmiris on Youm-e-Istehsal.
Prime Minister Imran Khan, during his address to the AJK assembly said that PM Modi made a huge miscalculation on August 5 of last year by abrogating article 370.
PM said that oppression of Kashmiris increased after BJP came into power as Modi won election by inciting hatred against Pakistan.
Imran Khan also said that Modi thought that Pakistan will remain silent as he strips Kashmir of its autonomy, but Pakistan internationalized the Kashmir issue as he himself briefed President Donald Trump several times about its sensitivity.
He, while citing examples of Quaid-e-Azam and Nelson Mandela, said that true leaders do not divide nations. On the contrary, PM Modi, who was not even allowed to travel to Europe and US due to Gujrat massacre, divided India on religious basis.
He also claimed that any pro-India leader cannot be elected in Kashmir now and already pro-India leaders like Omer Abdullah are also changing their stance and accepting the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
He also assured all Kashmiris and assembly of AJK that he has highlighted Kashmir issue at all international levels and will continue to do so.
While explaining his philosophy about political map of Pakistan, PM Imran Khan said that it was a mandatory move to show the world that India has illegally occupied Kashmir and it is a disputed territory.
He also announced that Kashmiri leader Syed Ali Gillani will be honored with Nishan-e-Pakistan on August 14 for his historic courage and bravery.
Earlier, Prime Minister of AJK Raja Farooq Haider tabled a resolution, condemning Indian actions of August 5, which was passed by the assembly. The resolution rejected illegal Indian actions in the valley and condemned arrest of Hurriyat leaders and representatives of international media.
PM AJK also paid tribute to martyrs of armed forces. He, while demanding an end to curfews and lockdowns in the IIJOK, said that intentions of Indian Prime Minister Modi has been exposed.
He added that visit of Line of Control (LoC) by political leadership has increased morale of the Kashmiris.
Prime Minister Pakistan Imran Khan has also inaugurated “Jammu and Kashmir Monument” in Muzaffarabad in memory of the oppressed Kashmiris.
PM Imran also participated in a solidarity walk along with AJK President and Prime Minister and others to commemorate one year of military siege of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir
Earlier, PM Imran Khan, in a series of tweets on Wednesday, said that Kashmiris in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) have been subjected to a brutal fascist military siege by India since its illegal actions of 5th August last year followed by efforts to change the demography of the valley.
The prime minister said he will continue to be an ambassador for all Kashmiris whose voices India has tried to silence through its brutal illegal occupation of IIOJK. He claimed that after many years, his government raised the Kashmir issue effectively before the United Nations and exposed the Hindutva Supremacist fascism of the Modi led government.
Imran Khan further said that the government has also depicted the aspirations of the Kashmiri people and our commitment to United Nations Security Council resolutions in the political map of Pakistan released yesterday (Tuesday).
