Imran Khan must complete term of five years and strengthen all the institutions of the country
INDIA-OCCUPIED KASHMIR: We the people of India-occupied Kashmir (IOK) are happy that democracy is strengthening in Pakistan. We all believe that you, Imran Khan, must complete your term of five years and strengthen all the institutions of the country. However, I would like to mention a few things which we in IOK think about Pakistan.
Pakistan was created in 1947 with a slogan that the country will be an example of Madinatur Rasoolallah (SAW). The masterminds behind this idea were Allama Iqbal and the Quaid-e-Azam. The first part of their dream came true when a Muslim-majority state was created but the second part of the dream is still pending. The idea was to create a state which will eradicate poverty, lead the Muslim Ummah in science and technology, and have social equality and justice, besides a strong education system.
We hope that the ideal for which Pakistan was created will reach its climax under your leadership and your team will work for this greater cause.
Also the Kashmir issue is pending. This issue has created a war-like situation between Pakistan and India. But the responsibility of your team is to talk directly to India regarding the Kashmir dispute and end the bloodbath of innocent people in IOK.
The US’ Afghan war spoiled the friendship between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It made Afghanistan an enemy for Pakistan. Therefore, friendship with Afghans should also be your top priority. It will bring peace in the entire region.
Iran and Pakistan also share borders. Friendly ties with Iran are also important.
We all believe and respect your vision of Naya Pakistan. And for that education should be the main focus of your government. If you fail to come up with a uniform education system, a social divide will maintain and the deprived sections will never be able to rise.
We hope that the country will prove to be an exemplary state and all the promises will be fulfilled. The entire IOK prays for Pakistan and the Pakistani people.
