India to face valiant nation if AJK attacked: Sardar Masood

AJK president urges youth to expose India through social media

MUZAFFARABAD: India will have to face the valiant youth of Azad Kashmir (AJK), Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) if it dares to attack the liberated territory, AJK President Sardar Masood Khan has said.

Addressing the concluding session of one-day volunteer peace conference organised by the Kashmir Youth Alliance on Wednesday, Khan said the people of AJK, G-B and K-P were not only martial races but imbibed with the spirit of martyrdom.

He urged the Pakistani youth to rise up in support of their Kashmiri brethren, create awareness about the Kashmir struggle, and expose India through social media.

Describing the youth as the country’s future, the AJK president said struggling for Kashmir’s freedom, and countering Indian threats was its foremost obligation. "India not only wants to stabilise its occupation of Kashmir and suppress the voice of Kashmiris but also eliminate Pakistan and Muslims living in India," he said.

Khan said India’s civil-military leadership was threatening to invade AJK, adding that Indian army lacked capability to fight like a professional army, and may kill defenceless people.

He said neither Pakistan nor Kashmiris but Modi was India’s “real enemy” who was poised to its disintegration.

Stressing the need of unity and cohesion among the people of Pakistan and AJK, Khan said they couldn’t afford political differences at a time when India was preparing for war. The RSS was imparting armed training to 400,000 young boys and girls, he claimed.

The AJK president said India wanted to weaken the unity among Pakistanis and Kashmiris through propaganda. "The youth must not pay heed to rumours, and besides the freedom struggle, they should make Pakistan one of the strongest states of the world.”

Other leaders including Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Mohammad Khan and Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdur Rashid Turabi also addressed the gathering.
