KARACHI: A former chairman of an FPCCI standing committee and Secretary-General (Federal) of the BMP Chaudhary Ahmad Jawad has hailed the federal cabinet's decision to approve a new political map of Pakistan, which was a giant step as it reflected the desire of the whole nation as well as that of the business community of the country.

"We are challenging India's illegal occupation and claiming our right to the area through the map," he said. He said the Kashmiris had unanimously rejected the illegal and unilateral step of August 5 last year by the Indian government.

The incumbent government had effectively exposed at the global forums the Hindutva policies of the extremist Indian government and the human rights violations.

He said the real face of the Indian government had been fully exposed before the world. Jawad said the Indian government's policy of hatred had threatened peace in the entire region.

The Indian government wanted to change the demography of the IIOJK, which was a blatant violation of international laws, but now their attempt seemed to be in vain. "The entire business community of Pakistan is also criticizing the Indian government for usurping the rights of the minorities in India," he added.

He also said Kashmiris were writing the history of courage, bravery and determination with their continued struggle for freedom in the face of immense pain, disappointment and inaction. Pakistan would forcefully raise its voice globally until the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) got their right to self-determination.

He hailed government's decision of renaming the Kashmir Highway, which connected the federal capital with Kashmir and other provinces, after Srinagar. "We are looking at Srinagar. That is our destination," he remarked.
