ISLAMABAD: President Dr Arif Alvi inaugurated the Jammu and Kashmir monument, constructed in memory of Kashmiri martyrs and their struggle, in Muzaffarabad on Saturday.

The President and the Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir and Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa were also present on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion, President Dr Arif Alvi said this monument will help our future generations remember the sacrifices rendered by the Kashmiri people. He said we will always remember the struggle and the sacrifices of Kashmiri people.

He said Pakistan’s history is incomplete until the liberation of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The President regretted that the promises made with the Kashmiris regarding their right to self-determination were not fulfilled by the international community. He, however, said no power can stop the Kashmiris from getting freedom from the cruel Indian clutches. He said Modi government is setting India on fire by pursuing hate based Hindutva policy.
