Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar has said Pakistan will continue to support the people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir in their struggle for right to self-determination.

Addressing a webinar organized by Pakistan Embassy in Berlin on the eve of Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir, he said the people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir are rendering immense sacrifices.

Referring to the Indian unilateral actions of 5, 2019, the Information Minister said these were aimed at disempowering the Kashmiri people, depriving them of voting rights and expelling them from their own land. 

The Information Minister said Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognized disputed territory. He said India's brutal occupation of the territory is not only a violation of international laws, but also a mockery of internationally recognized principles of human rights.

The Information Minister said Pakistan will continue to raise its voice for the Kashmiri people until the international community takes action on this issue.

Attaullah Tarar said responsibility rests with international community to put pressure on India to end its blatant violations of human rights and the unilateral and illegal actions taken since 5th August 20219 in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
