message on Kashmir Day: Caretaker Provincial Health Minister Dr Javed Akram has said, "We will fight for the freedom of Occupied Kashmir till the last drop of blood."

In his message on Kashmir Solidarity Day on Sunday, he said that the nation of Pakistan salutes the great struggle of the innocent Kashmiris. The hearts of Pakistanis beat with the people of Kashmiris. Modi dictator has crossed all the limits of oppression on Muslims in Occupied Jammu Kashmir. The international community is requested to solve the Occupied Jammu Kashmir issue on a priority basis. Modi government is committing open terrorism by oppressing Muslims in Occupied Kashmir.

Dr Javed Akram further said that we will raise our voice at every forum to give Kashmiris their right to self-determination. The silence of the United Nations on Indian atrocities is nothing less than criminal negligence.
