Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir today: Bilawal says no unilateral action can erase history

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir is a solemn reminder of the pain, resilience and unwavering spirit of the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), who continue to endure oppression while steadfastly upholding their inalienable right to self-determination.

In a statement on Tuesday, the PPP chairman said that August 5, 2019 marked a grave assault on international law, the United Nations Security Council resolutions, and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people. “No unilateral action can erase history, silence a people’s voice, or extinguish their yearning for justice, dignity and freedom,” he said.

Chairman Bilawal reiterated that lasting peace and stability in South Asia remain inseparable from a just resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the wishes of its people. Reaffirming his party’s unwavering support for the Kashmiris’ just struggle, he urged the international community to ensure the implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions.

Bilawal called upon Pakistanis across the world to observe Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir with renewed resolve and unwavering solidarity. “Let our collective voice remind the world that no nation can remain silent while a people are denied their fundamental rights. The sacrifices of the Kashmiri people will continue to inspire generations until justice prevails,” he concluded.
