SPECIAL REPORT
The Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Chaudhry Anwar ul Haq, has reiterated the unwavering national resolve to continue the struggle for the freedom of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking at a special session of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, convened to observe Kashmir Exploitation Day, Haq emphasized that the ongoing liberation movement will be taken to its logical conclusion despite all odds.
Haq stated that 240 million people of Pakistan, Azad Kashmir, Occupied Kashmir, and the global Kashmiri diaspora stand united behind the cause of Kashmir. He lauded the efforts of the current military leadership, particularly Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, for adopting a clear-cut stance on the Kashmir issue following India’s August 5, 2019, move.
The Prime Minister strongly condemned India’s actions in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, saying the Indian government’s designs aim to change the region’s demographic composition and suppress the political voice of Kashmiris. He criticized the puppet authorities in Indian-occupied Kashmir for denying fundamental rights, including refusing to allow Kashmiris to pay respects at martyrs’ graves.
Internal Matters and Terrorism
Haq rejected attempts to make the issue of refugee seats a divisive debate, warning that any such conspiracies will be dealt with firmly. He also issued a stern warning to those promoting terrorism in Azad Kashmir from abroad, particularly those operating from Afghanistan, pledging zero tolerance.
The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of strategic communication in the era of fifth-generation warfare, calling on all political actors to adopt a unified stance on issues of vital national interest. He urged lawmakers to act responsibly, especially in the age of social media, asserting that “this is not the time for personal agendas; the sacrifices of our martyrs demand collective responsibility.”
Haq expressed strong dismay over the United Nations’ policy of indifference towards Kashmir, saying that the UN has miserably failed to address the issues confronting the Muslim Ummah and has been unable to implement its own resolutions on Kashmir .
