Kashmiri brethren will not be forgotten: Jhagra

PESHAWAR: Governor Iqbal Zafar Jhagra has said that Kashmir is the lifeline of Pakistan and people of the country will continue their moral and diplomatic support to their Kashmiri brethren.

The governor said this while speaking to Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider, who called him at the Governor’s House here on Saturday, said a handout.

“The prevailing state of movement amongst the people of the Indian-held Kashmir reflects their spirit to achieving the cherished goal of the right to self-determination and the day is not far away when they would be able to achieve this destination,” he said.

The governor deplored the atrocities at the hands of Indian forces against the armless Kashmiris and said that in such a situation, human rights violations in the area were indeed a question mark as far as the responsibilities of the free world are concerned.
