The civil-military leadership of the country emphasised the remarkable fortitude, resilience, and steadfast faith displayed by the Kashmiri people in the face of relentless brutality from Indian occupation forces in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
In a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the military's media wing, the leaders voiced concerns over the brewing humanitarian and security crises in IIOJK, which pose a serious threat to regional peace and stability.
Pakistan pledged its unwavering support to the Kashmiris in their just struggle for the inalienable right to self-determination, in accordance with the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.
The leaders accused India of attempting to alter the demography of IIOJK through illegal administrative measures and draconian laws, asserting that such actions cannot suppress the Kashmiri people's determination to achieve their legitimate objectives.
