Dr. Alvi also emphatically stated that Pakistan will never back away from its principled stand on the issue of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Prime Minister Imran Khan in his message said the heroic soldiers and officers, pilots, and sailors fought bravely and did not care for their own lives and defended the frontiers by offering supreme sacrifice.
The premier said India today stands exposed before the world community for its bid to hamper peace in the region, especially with reference to Pakistan.
The international community is now convinced that the persecution of minorities across India and the atrocities unleashed on innocent Kashmiris in Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir must end forthwith, PM Imran said while commending the government’s proactive diplomacy.
He also mentioned that India will have to give Kashmiris their due right to self-determination, under the UN Security Council resolutions; the sooner the better.
