Every year 19th July is celebrated by Kashmiri nation with passion. The Muslims of Kashmir unanimously took a historical decision of accession to Pakistan to protect their religious, economic and political rights, People in Indian Occupied Kashmir, refugees residing in Pakistan and overseas Kashmiris are also celebrating this day with great enthusiasm.
This year, we have dedicated a whole week to commemorate the sacrifices of our brethren and people from every walk of life including political and social organisations in Azad Kashmir, Pakistan and Indian Occupied Kashmir are organising events to pay tribute to Kashmiri freedom fighters. Innocent people of Kashmir are subject to state terrorism for 63 years. Despite losing countless lives, their sheer determination and courage provides impetus to the Freedom Struggle. World has witnessed that the brutal Indian rule has failed to contain Kashmir Liberation Movement and Kashmiris will reach their destination soon.
The decision of 19th July, 1947 proved that the people of Kashmir have associated their future with Pakistan. We want a peaceful resolution of Kashmir dispute and without Kashmiri participation in the dialogue process no solution will be acceptable. The government and people of Pakistan are supporting the people of Kashmir in every possible way.
President Asif Ali Zardari's and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani's position on Kashmir provides great strength to Kashmiris. Resumption of dialogue on Kashmir is also an apt example of the fact that Government of Pakistan is a true representative of Kashmiri people. On this occasion, we solemnly pledge to live up the expectations of our forefathers and the Kashmiri people and hope that we will gain freedom soon.
