We will continue to fight for justice of Kashmiris, says PM

(Karachi) Prime Minister Imran Khan has said we will continue to fight for justice of Kashmiris as they struggle against the brutal and illegal actions of the Hindutva Supremacist Indian Govt in Jammu Kashmir.

In a tweet on Sunday, he said today we commemorate the historic occasion of Youm-i-Ilhaq-e-Pakistan, when Kashmiris passed a resolution for accession to Pakistan.

The PM said, "We reaffirm our commitment to the Kashmiri people and stand with them in their struggle for self-determination."

He maintained Kashmiris' right of self-determination is recognised by the UNSC and under international law.

Kashmiris right of self-determination is recognised by the UNSC & under international law. We will continue to fight for justice for Kashmiris as they struggle against the brutal & illegal actions of the Hindutva Supremacist Indian govt in IOJK. I know that justice will prevail.

Situation in Occupied Kashmir worsened when India withdrew constitutional provisions on August 5, 2019 that gave Jammu and Kashmir more autonomy than any other Indian state.

In retaliation to Modi's government’s move, India flooded the region with additional troops, and imposed curfew-like restrictions to keep a lid on protests.

Although many curbs, including those on movement have been eased, mobile telephone and internet connections in the Kashmir valley, home to around seven million people, remain cut off.

Despite the curbs, Kashmiris came out on to the streets, and many shops and other commercial establishments in the held valley remained mostly shuttered in protests against the withdrawal of the special status.
