ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman-for-life Imran Khan categorically stated that the Indian Supreme Court’s decision on the special status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIJOK) was a sheer violation of the UNSC resolutions and the international community’s long-standing commitment to ensure right of self-determination for the people of the occupied valley.
In a special message from Adiala Jail, the PTI Founding Chairman strongly reacted to the Indian top court’s verdict retaining Narendra Modi-led government’s unilateral, unconstitutional and unlawful decision to stripping the occupied Jammu and Kashmir of its special status on August 5, 2019.
PTI Founding Chairman recalled that the international community had guaranteed the basic right to self-determination to the oppressed people of Kashmir through UNSC’s resolutions.
He made it clear that PTI would continue providing full diplomatic, moral and political support to its Kashmiri brothers and sisters in all circumstances.
PTI Chairman-for-life recalled that Kashmir was the main bone of contention between Pakistan and India. He emphasized that the then PTI government had strongly reacted when Modi-led government tried to alter the special status of Kashmir through unconstitutional, unlawful and cruel measures on August 5, 2019.
Imran Khan went on to say that we wanted to establish good ties with India while putting national interests first; however after the unacceptable and unconstitutional action of August 5, 2019, it was not possible because we did not want to compromise on the aspirations of the people of the occupied Kashmir for their vested interests.
PTI Founding Chairman pointed out that the current ruling clique imposed on the country put the important Kashmir issue on the back burner and bartered the sacrifices of Kashmiri peoples.
Imran Khan made it clear that the controversial and unlawful decision of the Indian top court would further complicate the Kashmir issue instead of helping to solve the decades-long conflict.
He vowed that PTI will continue to support the unprecedented and just struggle of the Kashmiri people for their freedom and right to self-determination with perseverance.
