Solidarity with Kashmiris to be marked today

ISLAMABAD: Arrangements have been finalised to observe the Kashmir Solidarity Day throughout Pakistan and Azad Kashmir, besides rest of the world on Saturday (today) to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people.

Observing of this day means renewal of the pledge to provide all-out moral, political and diplomatic support to their legitimate right to self-determination being denied by India for the last 63 years by keeping Held Kashmir under unlawful and forcible occupation.

In AJK, all necessary arrangements have been finalised to observe the day with traditional zeal and fervour, and with the renewal of the Kashmiris’ firm resolve to continue their struggle for liberation of their motherland from the Indian yoke in order to reach their ultimate destination - Pakistan, through the accession of entire J&K state to this country under the spirit of the historic July 19, 1947 resolution, unanimously passed in the meeting of All Jammu Kashmir Muslim Conference in Srinagar.

It would be a public holiday today throughout the country and in Azad Kashmir to show solidarity with the Kashmiris living under the subjugation of India.

Kashmiris too observe the solidarity day every year not only to renew their deep-rooted love and affection for Pakistan but also to reiterate their commitment to get their freedom from the Indian occupation.

It may be mentioned here that the day is observed every year in continuation of the first call given by then prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in 1975.

The day will dawn with special prayers for the martyrs of Kashmir, success of the freedom struggle and expression of solidarity with the Kashmiri people.
