He stressed that durable and peaceful solution of Kashmir issue is essential for bringing stability in South Asia and is pivotal to fully benefit from the collective and human resources of the region.
“The PML-N has always projected the Kashmir cause at every national and international forum and also stressed for the need of a diplomatic solution in the light of resolution of the Security Council in accordance with the demands of the people of Kashmir and we will keep calling on the national and international forum for their right.”
The CM assured the Kashmiri people that the people of Pakistan will never abandon their unflinching support for them. He said that Kashmiri people are facing atrocities with courage; however, India could not deprive them from their due basic right for long.
Shehbaz Sharif said that the Pakistani people have always raised their voices against the oppression of Indian force in occupied Kashmir and abuse of human rights. He reaffirmed the steadfast support of the people and government of Pakistan extended to the Kashmiri brothers and sisters in their struggle to achieve their inherent right to decide their future through self-determination on the occasion of solidarity.
In today’s democratic and media dominating era, the PML-N leader said, it is very unfortunate to deprive the Kashmiri people of their basic right through this tyrannical detention. “By observing the day of solidarity of Kashmir, we have to reiterate the commitment to continue political, moral and diplomatic support to Kashmiris in their struggle,” he added.
