'Armed Forces stand with Kashmir'

CDF Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, CNS Admiral Naveed Ashraf and Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu on behalf of the Armed Forces of Pakistan have reaffirmed their unwavering support for the resilient people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) in their epic struggle for self-determination, the ISPR said in a statement.

The Pakistan Armed Forces strongly condemn grave violations of human rights in IIOJK, including extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, and attempts to alter the demographic and political landscape of the region, with blatant disregard for international law, the statement added.

"We reiterate that a just and peaceful resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, in accordance with relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people, remains essential for lasting peace and stability in South Asia."

The ISPR said the international community must take "concrete and meaningful" action to alleviate the suffering of the Kashmiri people.

"The Armed Forces of Pakistan remain steadfast in their duty to safeguard Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and unwavering in their solidarity with their Kashmiri brothers and sisters in their rightful quest for freedom and dignity," the military's media wing said.
