The Consulate General of Pakistan, Dubai commemorated Youm-e-Istehsal-Kashmir to mark the 5th anniversary of India’s continued illegal actions of 5th August 2019, aimed at altering the internationally recognised disputed status of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK). The event was attended by a large number of Pakistanis and Kashmiris based in the United Arab Emirates.
Consul General Hussain Muhammad highlighted the importance of observance of the Youm-e-Istehsal. He said that the India’s illegal and unilateral action of 5th August were aimed at depriving the Kashmiri people from their identity and changing the demography of that region. The Consul General termed the illegal actions of 5 August 2019 as a blatant violation of international law including the UN Charter and UN Security Council Resolutions.
Emphasising the need for international community’s active role in resolving the Jammu & Kashmir dispute in line with the UNSC Resolutions, the Consul General reaffirmed Pakistan’s resolve to extend political, diplomatic, and moral support to Kashmiri people in their just struggle for realisation of their inalienable right to self-determination.
On this occasion, special documentaries depicting Indian atrocities in the IIOJK were also screened during the event.
