MIRPUR, Oct 24 (APP):Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwar ul Haq has stated that Pakistan’s historic success in Operation Bunyan-al-Marsoos has infused fresh spirit into the Kashmir freedom struggle. Addressing the 78th Foundation Day ceremony of AJK on Friday, he said the operation’s victory has brought joy to Kashmiris on both sides of the ceasefire line.
The Prime Minister noted that AJK was liberated after a great struggle and unmatched sacrifices by their forefathers, who resisted Indian aggression and overthrew the brutal Dogra regime. He recalled the events of 1947, when Congress leaders conspired with Maharaja Hari Singh to seize the Muslim-majority state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Paying rich tributes to Pakistan’s armed forces, the Prime Minister said they stand as true protectors who defend the lives, property, and dignity of people in Azad Kashmir. He credited Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir for his strategic and decisive leadership in Operation Bunyan-al-Marsoos.
The Prime Minister said thousands of youth have been martyred, and many Hurriyat leaders remain behind bars in Indian-occupied Kashmir. Despite repression, India has failed to crush Kashmiris’ spirit of freedom. He warned that India is altering the demographic composition of the territory to reduce the Muslim majority.
Expressing solidarity with the people of Indian-occupied Kashmir, the Prime Minister assured that his government would utilize all available resources for their liberation. He expressed optimism that the day is not far when the people of occupied Kashmir will achieve their cherished goal and the dream of completing Pakistan will be materialized.
