ISLAMABAD, Aug 26 (APP): Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday, reiterating Pakistan’s complete support to eight million Kashmiris in the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ&K) for their indigenous struggle for their fundamental rights and self-determination, observed that Modi had committed a huge and historical blunder, providing a historic opportunity for Kashmiris to get freedom from the illegal Indian occupation.
In his televised address to the nation, the prime minister said the whole Pakistani nation and its government would go to the last extent to support the oppressed Kashmiris.
“We will go to every extent … will stand with the Kashmiris till the last breath,” he said, adding “I ask every Pakistani to come out of their homes, offices, workplaces every week for half an hour and on the upcoming Friday from 1200 hours to 1230 hours, to express solidarity with the people of Indian Occupied Kashmir.”
He again warned that if India resorted to aggression, it would have far-reaching impacts on the entire world as the both countries possessed nuclear arms.
He said Pakistan’s Kashmir policy was at a decisive point and he had apprised the world leaders about the plight of the 8 million Kashmiri people in the IOJ&K.
Imran Khan’s speech came as the people of Indian Occupied Kashmir endured 22nd day of detention in their homes, without any access to food, medicines, communication facilities. India unilaterally changed the status of the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5 that guaranteed special rights to the people of the Muslim-majority region.
Taking the nation in confidence, the prime minister said his government came into power with the pledge to have good relations with all its neighbours as it believed that better ties were vital for uplifting their people from poverty, unemployment and to address shared issues of climate change and environment. But every peace move taken by Pakistan, was frustrated by India with leveling of unfounded allegations.
The prime minister said with its unilateral and illegal steps, Indian government had not only defied and violated the United Nations Security Council resolutions, but also its Constitution, its superior judiciary decision and the promises made by Nehru and Gandhi with the people of Kashmir.
He said the India’s secular constitution had ended and the RSS which was on the loose in India, had been sending a message to the outer world that India belonged to Hindus only. The RSS was founded in 1925 and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had been its member.
The prime minister said Quaid-e-Azam had sensed the Hindus’ designs and ideology and was compelled to launch Pakistan Movement. This ideology was responsible for the destruction of Babri Masjid and massacre of Muslims in Gujrat, he added.
