MUZAFFARABAD: Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq has expressed grave concerns over the deteriorating political and human rights situation in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
During an Iftar dinner hosted in honour of journalists in Muzaffarabad last night, the AJK PM highlighted that violations of human rights, forced disappearances, bloodshed and violence and killing of innocent people by the Indian occupation forces have become commonplace occurrences in the occupied territory.
Addressing India’s unlawful actions on August 5, 2019, Chaudhry Anwarul Haq emphasized that the move was unequivocally rejected by the Kashmiri people, Pakistan, and civilized nations worldwide.
He asserted that under international agreements, Kashmiris possess the right to defend themselves and their homeland, firmly stating, “Kashmiris will never compromise on their freedom.”
Recognizing the significant role of mainstream media, the AJK PM stressed that journalists can serve as vital advocates for the Kashmiri cause, affirming his government’s commitment to continually championing the just aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
Furthermore, Chaudhry Anwarul Haq expressed concerns about the approaching elections in India, warning that Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may resort to anti-Muslim rhetoric to stoke nationalist sentiments within India.
He highlighted the BJP’s extensive track record of utilizing anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan rhetoric as political tools to advance their agenda and achieve their political objectives.
