In a tweet on Saturday, on the occasion of foundation day of Azad Kashmir, he said the Kashmiri people would succeed in their struggle.

The president also said in his message that the Security Council should put pressure on Indian government to end its oppression in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

He said the UN should get lifted the military siege and restrictions on communications and peaceful protests in the occupied territory.

He said the world body should declare "null and void" the new domicile rules, which have been introduced in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir to change its demographic structure.

Illegal and unilateral steps of 5th August last year should also be declared "null and void".

He said a Commission of Inquiry should be constituted to investigate blatant human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
