MUZAFFARABAD:
Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan has said that ideological harmony and unity among all segments of the society are prerequisite for the success of Kashmir liberation movement and for the prosperity of the region.
He made the remarks on Friday while speaking to a delegation of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Alliance who called on him under the leadership of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam leader Maulana Imtiaz Ahmed Abbasi in Muzaffarabad.
The AJK president said that we are struggling on the political and diplomatic fronts for the freedom of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ&K), which has been under lockdown since August 5 after the Modi government revoked its special status.
"We enjoy support of 220 million Pakistani people in this regard," he added.
Sardar Masood said he frequently visits different parts of Pakistan in a bid to spread awareness about the Kashmir cause.
Members of the delegation appreciated the AJK president for effectively highlighting the Kashmir issue on every global forum.

Achieving SDGs
Later, in meeting with Director General Health Department of AJK, President Sardar said that the urgent steps needed to be taken to achieve the targets of universal health coverage of all citizens in the light of sustainable development goals by 2030.
He made the remarks while speaking to Director General Health Department of AJK Dr Sardar Aftab Hussain Khan in Muzaffarabad.
The president said besides availability of quality medicines, steps should be taken to ensure tele-health services to the people of far flung areas of Azad Kashmir.
Stressing the need of supply of inexpensive and quality medicines, he said the health department in collaboration with other departments should ensure supply of potable drinking water in both urban and rural areas to rid the people of water-borne diseases.
Dr Aftab Hussain told the president that during the last eight months, the health department had taken "revolutionary" steps to provide quality health facilities to the people, and provided surgical facilities in almost all hospitals located at district headquarters.
The hospitals, he added, are including District Headquarters Hospital (DHQ) Athmuqam, DHQ Hattian, and health centres in Hajira and Duddial, while under Prime Minister's Health Insurance Scheme, more than 325,000 families have been registered.
"In this way, 70 per cent registration work has been completed under this scheme," he added.
