Addressing a rally in Hyderabad, the JI Sindh Chief Dr Mairaj-ul-Huda Siddiqui said Kashmir was not just a name of some part of the land but also the name of an ideology. Kashmiris were fighting a war for completion of Pakistan.
Lashing out on the government for not giving priority to Kashmir, Dr Huda said Indian premier Narendra Modi taking full advantage of our weakness was violating ceasefire on the line of control due to which our army personnel and innocent citizens embrace martyrdoms. He said that India’s barbarism in Kashmir has reached to extreme heights.
The speakers of other rallies said Kashmir was an incomplete agenda of sub-continent’s partition, the tension between Pakistan and India would never end until the Kashmir issue was resolved. They said the Issue would never be resolved until the Pakistani government and Kashmir Committee raise it sincerely at the international level. The United Nations (UN) was also asked to ensure implementation of its resolutions, acknowledging the right of self-determination of the people of Kashmir.
