SRINAGAR: Dukhtaran-e-Millat activists hoisted the Pakistani flags at many places in Srinagar and other areas of the Indian-held Kashmir (IHK) and sang the Pakistan anthem to celebrate the Pakistan Day on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Dukhtaran-e-Millat President Syeda Aasiyeh Andrabi congratulated Muslims, particularly the people of Pakistan, on the Pakistan Day on Wednesday. She appealed to the people to work for the revival of the ideology of Pakistan.

Continuing with its tradition, the Dukhtaran-e-Millat celebrated the Pakistan Day on Wednesday and the party held many functions at various places, including Srinagar, where the Pakistan flags were hoisted.

Andrabi explained the importance of Pakistan and pointed out how Quaid-i-Azam and Allama Iqbal rightly felt that after the departure of British, the Muslims would be subjected to the ‘slavery of Hindus’ and demanded the creation of Pakistan.

Andrabi said that after giving countless sacrifices Muslims succeeded in creating a separate country but unfortunately since its birth anti-Islam forces wanted to destabilise it. She said that Muslims, especially Pakistanis, should treat Pakistan as a gift of Allah and should honour the sacrifices given for it by reviving the ideology of Pakistan. “We the occupied people also should work for the revival of the ideology of Pakistan.”

Aasiyeh Andrabi said that it was a big conspiracy of anti-Islam forces that Jammu and Kashmir, despite being the jugular vein of Pakistan, was not merged with it. The Dukhtaran-e-Millat president, however, said that Jammu and Kashmir being part of Pakistan was a reality and the world will have to make it see sooner or later.

Meanwhile, the Hurriyet shariah in total. She said though Pakistan is like an Islamic fort but the unfortunate thing is that it is yet to become a true Islamic country. She appealed the Muslims of Pakistan and the religious parties like Jamatud Dawa and Jamaat-e-Islami in particular to work for the revival of ideology of Pakistan so that the country is made to become like a real Islamic country and put before the whole world as a model Islamic state.

She referred to the history and said that even when Pakistan was created Muslim leaders first worked to spread the ideology of Pakistan and then only they could launch a struggle. She said that Muslims especially Pakistanis should treat Pakistan as a gift of Allah and should honor the sacrifices given for it by reviving the ideology of Pakistan. We the occupied people also should work for the revival of ideology of Pakistan but the religious parties of Pakistan have a great role to play to make Pakistan like it was dreamt by Quaid-i-Azam, Allama Iqbal and all those pious people who have put their blood in its making .

She further said that these parties should continuously work to make the new generation aware about the real meaning of Pakistan and should also make them aware about the conspiracies that have been hatched not to allow Pakistan going its way.

Aasiyeh Andrabi said that it was a big conspiracy of anti-Islam forces that Jammu Kashmir despite being juggler vein of Pakistan was not merged with it. Dukhtaran-e-Millat president however said that Jammu Kashmir being part of Pakistan was a reality and the world will have to make it see sooner or later.

Meanwhile Hurriyet leaders on Wednesday visited the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi to participate in the Pakistan Day celebrations. They were invited by Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit Khan.

On the other hand the High Court Bar Association in a report released in Srinagar on Wednesday said that the Indian authorities were prolonging the detention of Kashmiri detainees by not producing them before courts on due dates on one pretext or another. The report was prepared by a six member team of the bar association after visiting Baramulla district jail. The report disclosed that senior Hurriyet leader Masarrat Aalam Butt was not being released despite the fact that he had been granted bail in all the cases registered against him.

The Secretary General of All Parties Hurriyet Conference Shabbir Ahmad Shah has termed the arrest of Kashmiri students in India and keeping a close watch over their activities by police as political vendetta. He said that all this was being done at the behest of Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh and Hindutva forces to push the career of Kashmiri youth into the darkness.

Meanwhile people from various areas of Srinagar took to the streets against implementation of the anti-people law National Food Security Act in the territory. The protestors blocked the vehicular movement through erecting barricades on the roads in Soura. Similar protests were held in Batwara, Shivpora and Batamaloo localities. The protesters comprising a large number of women formed a human chain to stop the vehicular movement in the areas.

Speakers at a seminar in Luton decided to reach out to all friends of Kashmir and multiply the efforts to highlight the Kashmir dispute in Britain and other European countries. The event was moderated by Professor Zafar Khan and was organised by former Mayor of Luton Borough Council Wahid Akbar.
