Meanwhile, Prime Minister Imran Khan said he has reassured Pakistan’s all possible support to the Kashmiri people being an ‘ambassador of Kashmir’.
It is the international community's responsibility to ensure an impartial plebiscite in Kashmir. The world must not ignore the plight of the people of IIOJK and their undeniable desire to free themselves from the Indian state's draconian military occupation.

Islamabad commemorates February 5 to reaffirm its unwavering support to the Kashmiris in their just struggle for their inalienable right to self-determination, he said while adding that the pattern of ongoing atrocities in IIOJK reflected the anti-peace and anti-Muslim ‘Hindutva’ agenda of extremist RSS-BJP dispensation.
The premier also reiterated India’s illegal and unilateral steps were rejected by Pakistan and the Kashmiris. He said that the durable peace, security and development in the region hinged on peaceful resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.
Meanwhile, Kashmir Solidarity Day is being observed today on Saturday to express full support to the struggle of the people of Indian-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K) for their inalienable right to self-determination under the UN resolutions.
