The Chairman of Tehreek-e-Muzahamat, Bilal Ahmed Siddiqui, in a statement in Srinagar said Pakistan is not an ordinary country but an ideological state and sole Muslim atomic power. He said Muslims across the globe attach high hopes with the country as Pakistan has been a support to all oppressed nations across the world, particularly Kashmir and Palestine. He thanked the government and people of Pakistan for their continued support to the Kashmir cause.

Tehreek-e-Wahdat-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir spokesman in a statement in Srinagar said a strong and stable Pakistan is the guarantor of Kashmir’s freedom from Indian yoke. He said that the dream of Pakistan of the poet of the East, Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal, was fulfilled by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah with his vision, intelligence, honesty, principled politics and determination in a short period of time. The spokesman said that the unilateral action of Narendra Modi-led fascist Indian government on August 5, 2019 and the brutal and inhuman treatment meted out to Muslims by Hindu extremists in India proved the Quaid-e-Azam’s two nation theory right.

He said that the day was not far when India would have to face defeat and Jammu and Kashmir would be free from Indian illegal domination and become part of Pakistan.
