One Should not forget that the people of Pakistan and Kashmiris around the World commemorate 5th February each year as Kashmir Solidarity Day. This day is commemorated to express our Solidarity with millions of Kashmiris and make them sure that they are not alone in their very struggle for the Right to self-determination. Kashmir Solidarity Day due to its international importance is marked by all the peace-loving Nations throughout the World.
If we look back into the previous History of the Valley of Jammu and Kashmir it is filled with Bloodshed, Genocide, Terror and Torture. At the time of the partition of this sub-continent, the first heinous effort on the part of Indian Government revealed in this case was the illegal annexation of the valley of J&K with India which was against the Will of the Kashmiris and this was made possible by the very approval of the instrument of accession by the then Governor General of India Lord Mount Batton. February 5 Kashmir Solidarity Day stands against this approval of Instrument of accession which is the most dangerous turning point in the History of Indian Sub-continent. Kashmir Solidarity Day is a symbol of our love, affection, affiliation and permanent attachment with Kashmir and its people. This special day is a public Holiday throughout Pakistan where lot of public rallies, protests and processions are organized or launched throughout the country to unveil Indian Government illegal possession, unnecessary domination and permanent brutalities of its intelligence Network in every Nuk and corner of Kashmir.
In the Wake of shear violations of Human Rights in the Indian occupied Valley, solidarity day stands for peace, unity and collective struggle for Independence in Kashmir. Today the process of solidarity is going to provide us a proper way out to solve the long outstanding issue of Kashmir we the people of Pakistan always reiterate persistent diplomatic, moral and Political support to our Kashmiri Brothers and Sisters and make them sure that they are not alone in the very struggle of their Right for self-determination.
If we look back into the different phases of Governor Rule in Kashmir imposed by the Indian Government at different Times, we should have to regret on Indian Government Strategy of settling puppet Governments against the Will of the people of Kashmir as Governor Rule could not be imposed in a disputed territory like IOJK. Even Today the Government of India is not supposed to make any political, legal or official changes in the very structure of disputed Territory like Kashmir. This brutal action against the valley hinders the solidarity process and damages the very notion of the freedom of the people of Kashmir. The recent assembly elections in Kashmir on the part of Mr. Modi Government is big slap on the face of democracy in India, holding such an election in the disputed valley of J&K should definitely by challenged at the International Court of Justice because this election is extremely harmful for the solidarity process, UN Resolutions 1949 as well as against the permanent solution for the Right of determination in Kashmir.
Right from 5th August 2019 after the abrogation of Article 370 and 35a Modi has not only disturbed the status co of the disputed valley of Jammu and Kashmir but he has also blocked the smooth functioning of security council agenda on Kashmir. We still demand from the Government of India that the articles 370 and 35a should immediately be restored so that status co of the occupied Valley have to be maintained as it was before 5th August 2019.
The present scenario and Solidarity process all around the World is a loud and clear message for the independence of Kashmir in the near future. The obvious violation of Human Rights in Kashmir is an otherserious issue for Modi Government because it unveils the face of Indian secularism. The lack of peaceful atmosphere and public unrest in Kashmir is a great concern for the international print and electronic media which is disconnected from Kashmir and is not allowed to visit any human rights affected areas over there. The time has come that Kashmir cannot be cordoned off for a long time to come. The bleeding Kashmir is speaking out the truth to this World and the truth is written on the Wall, the fate of Kashmir is meant for its independence. Inspite of the fact that all the members of international community including UNO, EU, OIC and International Court of Justice are aware of this Truth but they are turning their eyes off this long-standing issue in Southeast Asia.
The very issue of Kashmir has always been adversely affected by the application of the right of Veto Power on it. In the last many decades whenever Kashmir issue was taken to the security council it was either vetoed by Russia or by America. In this critical situation our great friend China has always been backing Pakistan for the just cause of Kashmir. Today one China policy can also be useful for Pakistan Stand on Kashmir. The role of Pakistan Government, foreign office and Pakistan army in this regard is crystal clearso far as role of National security institutions in Pakistan is concerned Pakistan army and its intelligence agencies are fully determined to protect and defend Pakistan because a very strong Pakistan can strengthen the cause of Kashmir. Pakistan army is known for their best defense strategy for Pakistan and Kashmir and presenting a lot of sacrifices for its people in order to drain out the cross-border terrorism in Pakistan this will not only strengthen Pakistan, but it will strengthen Pakistan stand on Kashmir and the momentum of the solidarity process for Kashmir. So far as the stand of Pakistan Government on Kashmir is concerned. It is unshakeable as well as unbreakable. The Government and people of Pakistan demand the freedom of Kashmir in the light of UN Resolutions 1949 less than the freedom of Kashmir nothing is required freedom freedom and freedom of Kashmir is our final Goal. Indian Government cannot divert our attention from Kashmir issue by exporting their cross-border terrorism to Pakistan specially in the FATA areas, KPK Baluchistan or in different areas of Pakistan. Whenever Modi Government will disturb the peace and solidarity process in Pakistan or Kashmir, she should not be spared by Pakistan army which is always determined to deal India with Iron Hands. The Solidarity Process in Kashmir is on its way and the independence of the occupied valley is not far away. Let us hope for the best future for Kashmir and Pakistan.
