Entire Pakistan standing behind IIOJK people: Pm Imran

Tarar Khal (AJK) July 23 (KMS): Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has said the entire Pakistan is standing with the people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and he will continue raising the Kashmir dispute at every forum.

Addressing a public gathering at Tarar Khal in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, today (Friday), while counting on the sacrifices of Kashmiri people for their freedom from Indian yoke, the prime minister urged the Kashmiri leaders specifically Syed Ali Gilani and Yasin Malik to show perseverance as success comes after the difficulty.

The Prime Minister strongly rejected the notion that PTI government is mulling to make Azad Jammu and Kashmir a province of Pakistan. He said according to the UN resolutions, only Kashmiri people can decide their future through referendum.

Imran Khan said Pakistan will allow Kashmiris to decide between choosing to join Pakistan or remaining independent even after they vote in favor of Pakistan in a future plebiscite. He said the unprecedented sacrifices being rendered by the Kashmiri people will not go in vain and time is not far when they will decide their future.

Prime Minister Imran Khan vowed to end poverty in AJK after winning the upcoming general elections. He said we will implement our flagship Ehsas program in AJK to help Kashmir’s youth achieving their goals and to provide all basic facilities to the masses.

He said opposition is making hue and cry of rigging in elections despite the fact that being the ruling party their own government is responsible for conducting the fair and transparent elections.

The prime minister said we are making strenuous efforts for the last one year to bring elections reforms to make election process transparent and opposition has been invited to sit with government for this purpose.

Imran Khan said Electronic Voting Machines will bring an end to rigging allegations and help in holding transparent elections.

Addressing another rally at Kotli in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, the prime minister said he will continue fighting for Kashmiris’ basic right to self-determination that was given to them under the UN resolutions.

He said being the Ambassador of Kashmir, he will raise Kashmir issue at every level including international media and world institutions.

He regretted over previous governments for doing nothing to end poverty in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and not highlighting Kashmir issue rigorously at world forum.

The prime Minister said on one side, RSS based Hindutva ideology was inflicting atrocities on innocent Kashmiris while on the other, our leaders were inviting the propagates of that ideology to their homes. He said due to their personal interests previous government leaders never criticized RSS-led Indian government.

Imran Khan said our Naya Pakistan Housing and Kamyab Jawan program will prove to be the life changing programs for Kashmiri people.
