“Our moral and diplomatic support for Kashmiris shall continue till achieving their right to self-determination,” he added.
PPP Chairman expressed complete solidarity with the Kashmiri people adding that PPP will always be at the forefront at every available forum to raise voice for the people of IoK.
Pakistan and Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and the world over observed Black Day on Saturday (today) to mark the illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by India.
The day is marked every year to express support and solidarity with Kashmiri people in their just struggle for right to self-determination and remind the United Nations and the international community of its commitments regarding the resolution of this longstanding dispute.
Seminars will be organized and rallies will also be taken out in different cities of Pakistan to mark the day.
October 27 marks one of the darkest chapters of the Jammu & Kashmir history.
On this day, seven decades ago, Indian forces landed in Srinagar to occupy, subjugate, oppress and terrorize the innocent people of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IoK) in blatant violation of international law.
The United Nations Security Council through several of its resolutions, has validated the Kashmiris’ right to decide their future through a fair and impartial plebiscite. Despite its commitment to the international community to enforce these resolutions, India has embarked on a path of punitive suppression and pathological genocide that continues to this day.
