ISLAMABAD, Feb 05 (APP):At D-Chowk on Shahrah-e-Dastoor, a powerful message of Kashmir’s freedom rose from voices that do not depend on sight. Visually impaired special children, deprived of physical vision but guided by inner light, gathered to show solidarity with the people of Kashmir. Their presence carried a clear message: freedom cannot be suppressed, and light cannot be imprisoned.
The children took part in a peaceful walk from China Chowk to D-Chowk, turning Shahrah-e-Dastoor into a symbol of unity and hope. With glowing faces and hearts lit by the belief in freedom, they explained to the world that liberty is a basic human right—one that no force, border, or darkness can deny.
Speaking after the introductory remarks, Director Special Education Amir Khan said the children’s awareness and courage reflected the true spirit of humanity and patriotism. He said special children are known not by limitations, but by strength, understanding, and moral clarity. He added that such activities help the world recognize their voice and their role in standing for justice.
Guide Tariq Khan, who accompanied the visually impaired children, told APP that the excitement among the children began early in the morning. “All the children woke up very early today,” he said. “They were full of energy and happiness because they knew they were going to stand in solidarity with the people of Kashmir. They kept saying that we have to give a message to the nations of the world—that freedom cannot be imprisoned.”
During the walk, Waleed and Abdullah spoke to APP with quiet confidence. Abdullah, a Class 6 student, said freedom belongs to every human being. “No one has the right to cage human souls,” he said. “Freedom is a light that cannot be locked away.”
Muhammad Waleed and Asad, close friends, held each other’s hands firmly as they shared their dream. They said that one day, God willing, they would go together to Kashmir. “It is living in darkness today,” they said, “but one day it will be welcomed with the light of freedom.”
The emotions of Shehzeb and Nokar Ali were equally moving. They said the right to freedom belongs to Kashmiris. “We cannot see,” they explained, “but we live in a free country. Because of that, we understand the value and the price of freedom better than many others.”
At D-Chowk, all the children formed a strong human chain, standing shoulder to shoulder. They pledged to keep raising their voices for Kashmir and to carry its message to the nations of the world. Their collective message was simple yet powerful: light cannot be silenced, and freedom cannot be caged.
The walk proved that patriotism does not depend on sight. Even without vision, these children showed the world that the brightest light of freedom lives in the heart—and no prison can ever hold it.
