Kashmiri leader thanks Pakistan for solidarity

Kashmiri leader and Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement (JKSM) Chairman Altaf Ahmed Bhat expressed gratitude to the government and the people of Pakistan for observing August 5 as Youm-Istehsal.

The chairman while addressing the media said that Pakistan's observance of the day against the illegal, immoral and undemocratic actions of India on August 5, 2019 has once again proved that Pakistan stands side by side with the freedom struggle of Kashmiris.

The purpose of observing the Day of Exploitation in Pakistan and across the world was to send a message to the Kashmiris that Pakistanis all over the world will continue to support them in their freedom struggle.

While appreciating the government, Bhat said that Pakistan has always condemned the Indian hegemonic agenda, violations of International law and Human Rights, suppression and subjugation of besieged Kashmiris in IIOJ&K.
