Voice raised in Kashmir rally against Modi govt

LAHORE:A rally was held under the leadership of Provincial Industries and Trade Minister Mian Aslam Iqbal to show complete solidarity with the Kashmiri people at Faisal Chowk on The Mall.

The rally participants earlier gathered in Samnabad and then marched to Faisal Chowk. A large number of people from different walks of life participated in the rally. The enthusiastic participants expressed their complete solidarity with the Kashmiris. They raised flags of Pakistan and Kashmir and chanting slogans in support of Kashmiri people.

Addressing the participants, Mian Aslam Iqbal said that Modi government had exceeded all limits of inflicting atrocities on innocent and unarmed Kashmiri people. The Kashmiris endured every tyranny and cruelty of India with great courage and fortitude, he added.

Prime Minister Imran Khan by becoming the voice of Kashmiri people has raised Kashmir issue at every national and international forum. The sacrifices of brave Kashmiris for attaining independence will definitely bear fruit and undue forceful occupation by India on Kashmir will end soon, he maintained. The sun of Kashmir liberation will rise soon. With the independence of Kashmir, India will also face dismemberment, the minister said. The minorities living in India have started raising their voice against Narendra Modi due the inhuman treatment Modi government meted out to them.

Pakistan is incomplete without Kashmir as Kashmir is its jugular vein. Pakistani people by coming out have shown their complete support to the Kashmiris and also voiced a strong message that they were standing with their Kashmiri brethren in their time of trial and sufferings. “We will stand with our Kashmiri brothers and sisters till our last breath,” concluded Aslam Iqbal.

India has become example of false democracy: Provincial Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid in her message on the occasion of Kashmir Solidarity Day has said that Narendra Modi by exceeding all limits of inflicting cruelty and oppression on innocent Kashmiris has brought forward his obnoxious and ugly face before the world. India has become an example of false democracy and barbarity.

Modi by getting his inner beast out of him has stained his hands with the blood of thousands of Kashmiris, she lamented. The oppression inflicted by the Indian government on the unarmed Kashmiri people is being widely condemned across the world. “Kashmir will become Pakistan” is the common slogan being chanted by everyone, she emphasised, the minister said.

Narendra Modi by seizing the right of self-determination to the Kashmiris is making a futile attempt to forcefully impose his oppressive government. The excellent strategy being adopted by Pakistan Army has saved the region of great calamity.

Yasmin Rashid said, “Kashmir Solidarity Day is the day to express our complete determination to liberate Indian-Occupied Kashmir.” Auqaf Department: A rally was taken out by Auqaf Department to express solidarity with the people of occupied Kashmir and against Indian atrocities, on Wednesday.
