Saluting the Kashmiris on Kashmir Martyrs Day, Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that Pakistan has always stood steadfast for the Kashmiris right to self-determination and the day is not far that they are liberated from the clutches of India's illegal occupation.

In a series of tweet on Monday, the PM said the martyrs of July 13, 1931 were the forefathers of today's Kashmiri resistance, adding that their descendants have, generation after generation, laid down their lives for freedom.

He further said that today they continue to 'valiantly fight and defy a Hindutva Supremacist regime bent on demographic engineering to wipe out the Kashmiri people and their identity'.

"Pakistan has always stood steadfast for the Kashmiri right to self-determination and will continue to support this just struggle till Indian-occupied Kashmir is liberated from the clutches of Indian illegal occupation. That day is not far," he tweeted.
