Mirpur, July 19, 2022 (PPI-OT):Azad Jammu and Kashmir President, Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry, on Tuesday said through the historic Accession to Pakistan resolution on July 19, 1947, the Kashmiri leadership had decided to link their fate with Pakistan even before its creation.
Talking to a delegation of electronic media people in Mirpur, Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry said the resolution was adopted unanimously by the political representatives of Kashmir during an extraordinary meeting which was held at former AJK president Sardar Ibraheem Khan’s residence at Aabi Guzar in Srinagar on July 19, 1947. “It is indeed a matter of great honour and privilege that my father Chaudhry Noor Hussain was one of the youngest political representatives who attended this history meeting,” he added.
The AJK president said, on this day we reaffirm our pledge to continue the struggle till the Kashmir dispute is resolved in line with the United Nations Security Council resolutions.
Referring to his visit to Srinagar, he said, “The Srinagar High Court Bar Association had organized a function in which I was invited, on this occasion when I asked for presenting a resolution.” He said the participants of the function not only endorsed the call for resolution of Kashmir in line with the UN resolutions but vehemently rejected India’s illegal occupation. “The surprise for me was that the resolution stated that Kashmir will be a part of Pakistan.”
Barrister Sultan citing the rising incidents of Indian state terrorism in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir said, India has committed atrocities not only in IIOJK but also against minorities living in different states of India.
Terming the Kashmiris’ ongoing struggle a legitimate freedom movement, he said, the international community is now acknowledging this reality that the ongoing struggle in IIOJK is indigenous.
Highlighting the media’s role in advancing the Kashmir cause, the AJK President assured the visiting delegation that the government would leave no stone unturned in resolving the problems being faced by the journalists associated with print and electronic media.
