GILGIT: Gilgit-Baltistan has observed the fourth anniversary of India’s unlawful actions of revoking the special status of the Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir (IIOJK) as Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir.
The people of Gilgit-Baltistan hold anti-India rallies, protests, conferences, and seminars in all districts to display solidarity with the oppressed Kashmiri people in IIOJK.

Participants from diverse backgrounds participated in these events and demanded justice for the Kashmiri people.
Speakers passionately urged the United Nations and international bodies to transcend double standards and engage constructively in resolving the Kashmir conflict. Their plea resonated with the desire for freedom from the grip of the oppressive Indian military and the authoritarian Modi government, which has gripped the region.
Pakistan’s Commitment to Kashmir Cause
Resolute in their stance, the speakers highlighted that the people of Pakistan remain steadfast in their commitment to secure the inherent right of self-determination for the Kashmiri people.
