ISLAMABAD: Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan, Ali Amin Khan Gandapur Tuesday reiterated that people of Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) would continue extending all possible moral, political and diplomatic support to the people of Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK) in getting their legitimate right of self-determination.
Addressing a gathering after one-minute silence observance and human-chain formation here at the D-Chowk, he questioned credibility of the world bodies, which could not implement resolutions passed by the United Nations Security Council on Kashmir.
He urged the international community to play its due role in resolving the issue as per wishes of the Kashmiri people and stop massive human rights violations being committed by the Indian forces.
The minister said sacrifices of Kashmiris would not go waste as sooner or later, India would have to bow before the indigenous freedom movement in occupied Kashmir and give its people their much-denied right to plebiscite.
He expressed the resolve that the government would highlight the Kashmir issue at all international forums, awakening the conscience of international community to resolve the issue lingering on for more than seven decades.
Gandapur said India was hatching conspiracies to change demography of occupied Kashmir by settling non-Kashmiris there as Israel had done in Palestine.
He underlined the need for sending an inquiry commission in IoK after the Human Rights Commission of the UN reported massive human rights violations by Indian troops and brutal killings of unarmed Kashmiris.
Later, the minister performed groundbreaking of the Yadgar- i- Shuhada at D-Chowk, being built to pay tribute to Kashmiri martyrs, who sacrificed their lives during indigenous freedom movement in IoK.
