Srinagar: Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Monday urged politicians to continue supporting the struggle of “India-held” Kashmir’s people. He said the people of Kashmir will continue to “fight for freedom even if we [politicians] do not stand united [behind them]”, DawnNews reported.
“But our unity will give them strength,” Abbasi said in an address to the “Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Legislative Assembly” on Kashmir Solidarity Day.
Pak PM said that Indian government knew it could not suppress the struggle of Kashmiris even if they tried.
He added that political leaders, despite their differences, should not “doubt each other on the [Kashmir] issue”.
Praising the resolve of the Kashmiri people, Abbasi said that “all Pakistan had to do” was to continue drawing attention to the Kashmir issue on every forum available. He urged Pakistan-administered Kashmir leaders to work together to mobilise the people of “held” Kashmir.
“Kashmiris are a huge force. All they need is good leadership and it is your responsibility to provide that,” the PM said. “The government will provide all the resources that you need in this regard.”
He said that Pakistan had always sought a peaceful solution to the Kashmir issue and would continue to do so.
