QUETTA: Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti on Monday said Balochistan would continue to raise its voice against the oppression of Kashmiri people by India at every forum and fully supports the right of self-determination of Kashmiris.
In a statement on the occasion of Youm-e-Istehsal Kashmir he said, “August 5 is the black day of history, five years ago on August 5, 2019, India revoked the autonomous status of Kashmir, granted under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.”
The Chief Minister said the unstoppable series of Indian state brutalities in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) continues.
Sarfraz Bugti said, that after abolishing the special status of Kashmir, the property of Kashmiris is being taken away and the Hindu extremists are being stelled in the valley to convert the majority of Kashmiris into non-indigenous residents.
He added the lives of the people of Kashmir are being made miserable and the international community must take notice of the oppression and cruelty of the Indian state institutions in IIOJK.
The chief minister said Kashmiris have to be given the right of self-determination according to the United Nations resolutions.
He noted that the relationship between Pakistanis and Occupied Kashmiris is eternal and the solidarity between Pakistan and Kashmir remains unwavering.
Sarfraz Bugti went on to say that India has always tried to erase the love of Pakistan from the hearts of Kashmiris but they have failed to separate the brothers as the hearts of Pakistanis and Kashmiri brothers beat together.
He said India wants to suppress the voice of Kashmiris for the right to self-determination. Sarfraz Bugti said people across Balochistan have raised their voices to express solidarity with Kashmiris.
