Multan (UPA) : The Press Information Department (PID) Multan hosted a seminar on Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir, where speakers vehemently denounced Indian crimes in the occupied valley and reaffirmed their unflinching support for the right of the Kashmiri people to self-determination.
Assistant Professor Dr. Naeem Mehmood of Bahauddin Zakariya University’s Department of Political Science and Public Administration spoke at the seminar on Tuesday at Radio Pakistan Multan.
He claimed that India had violated international law by using occupied Kashmir as an open-air prison since August 5, 2019. He vehemently denounced India’s revocation of Articles 370 and 35A, claiming that this infringement of Indian citizens’ rights occurred in Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).had left most people demoralized and disillusioned worldwide, and Kashmiris felt that India was using all of its tools—including military force and harsh legislation—to systematically alienate them in order to bring about an unethical and unlawful demographic shift.
The call for justice and international action was echoed by renowned journalists Shaukat Ashfaq, Zahoor Ahmed Dhareja, Qazi Iftikhar Ahmad, Nasreen Fareed, senior producer of Radio Pakistan Multan, and Uzma Afzal, deputy director of PID.
They underlined that unless Kashmiris are granted their rights, Pakistan will keep speaking out in international fora. Senior journalist Mazhar Javed Siyal hosted the discussion, which also included participation from Radio Pakistan producers Qamar Hashmi and Dilzaib Aakash, as well as PID Incharge Multan Sadaf Zahra.
Ahmed Raza recited passages from the holy Quran to open the occasion, while Mazhar Javed performed Naat (Peace Be Upon Him).Speakers asked the Muslim world to band together against Indian injustice and urged the UN to carry out its resolutions.
They honored the martyrs of Kashmir and praised the public, political parties, and Pakistani government for their efforts to preserve the cause of Kashmir.
