Speaking at a news conference at the Prime Minister’s House in Muzaffarabad, he said, “It is a war zone and the UN charter fully empowers the Kashmiris to take up arms against occupation.”

He extended his gratitude to the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for “exposing” Indian atrocities through a comprehensive resolution.

Shedding light on the fact that how much Pakistan is valued by Kashmiri people, Haider said, “For the Kashmiris, Pakistan is the most important country for being our advocate, our supporter, and our sympathiser. We always remain worried about its safety, stability, and integrity and do not want anyone to even cast an evil eye on our beloved country.”
