Foundation Day of the Government and the State of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The 66th foundation day is being celebrated by all the Kashmir and Pakistani people with all enthusiasm and spirit of nationalism. On this occasion, I offer my heartiest congratulations to the whole nation who have been struggling and courageously moving ahead step by step.
Dear brothers and sisters! It reminds us of a great historical struggle behind the establishment of Government and state of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir on 19th July 1947; the people of the Jammu and Kashmir have decided to annex their future and destiny to Pakistan. However, in I consonance with the partition plan, when the Kashmir people could not get their right to self determination, they started the historical movement against the tyrant Indian forces to actualise their wishes and aspiration to annex with Pakistan. After armed struggle of 15 months, they succeeded in getting a control of a large part of the Jammu and Kashmir from the clutches of Dogara Raj and established a revolutionary Azad government. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are struggling for the last 65 years to make their freedom movement a success. During these 65 years the Indian government has promised many times to conduct the referendum and give the people of Jammu and Kashmir the right to self determination. However, instead of satisfying its promises the Indian government has kept on inflicting more cruelty on Kashmiri people who faced all oppressive circumstances with valour and gallantry and kept on their struggle in every thick and thin. The government of Pakistan People's Party in Azad Jammu and Kashmir is, and has always been playing a significant and decisive role in this freedom struggle.
Dear Kashmiri Brothers! The government of Pakistan People's Party under the guidance of Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Co-chairman Mr Asif Ali Zardari is supporting the Kashmir Movement and the right to Self Determination fully. The Government of Pakistan is committed to Kashmir cause and always continues diplomatic, moral and political support to Kashmiris. No durable peace in the South Asia can be achieved without resolving the very issue and I would say the Kashmir dispute must be resolved in accordance with the aspirations of the people which can only be ensured in UN resolutions. Dear brothers! Salute all the people and freedom fighters of Kashmir. At the occasion of 66th Foundation Day of government and the State of Azad Jammu and Kashmir I assure them complete support in their struggle for the right to self determination. Reassure them that we are with them all the way for being the part of same body. The day is not far away when the Indian occupied Kashmir will be liberated from the despot clutches of Indian forces and able to annex with the Pakistan. May Allah Almighty give us strength to attain our objectives Ameen.
