Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJ&K) Raja Farooq Haider Khan paying glowing tributes to Burhan Muzaffar Wani on his third martyrdom anniversary on Monday said that the people of Kashmir are determined to take the freedom movement to logical end as per the United Nations resolutions. While addressing the participants of a rally taken out on Wani's third anniversary here at D-Chowk, Haider said that Wani is hero of Kashmir whose followers are millions of Kashmiri youth. The event was organised by APHC-AJK chapter and was attended by a large number of people.
He said over 100,000 people including youth, women, children and elderly people laid their lives in Kashmir liberation struggle. He added that Indian armed forces could not defeat the determination of people of Kashmir for their freedom movement despite crossing all limits of atrocities against them.
He said Pakistan should play its active role to implement the recommendations of the report of the UN Human Rights Commission. He appealed the Pakistani brethren to bring political stability in the country to carry the Kashmir liberation struggle to its logical end.
The Premier assured APHC leadership including Syed Ali Gillani, Mir Waiz Umer Farooq, Shabbir Ahmed Shah and Yasin Malik and other leaders who are incarcerated by India that they are not alone in their just struggle. He said, "220 million of Pakistanis and people of Gilgit-Baltistan and AJK stand behind you."
Haider observed that India believed that martyrdom of Muzaffar Wani had weakened Kashmir liberation struggle but it was mistaken. Wani's Shahadat instead intensified the freedom struggle as every child of Kashmir wants to become Muzaffar Wani. The AJK Prime Minister urged Foreign Ministry to play a proactive role for highlighting Kashmir issue over the globe. He said Kashmiris rendered unprecedented sacrifices and time is not far when they would reap the fruit of freedom. He gave the message to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, "Kashmiris have never compromised on their freedom. They are out to do or die."
Speakers on the occasion reaffirmed their commitment to carry forward the martyrs' mission. They demanded the government of Pakistan to expedite its diplomatic efforts to highlight the Kashmir dispute at international forums. The speakers also urged the international community to play its role in resolving the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN resolutions.
