Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar Saturday said India, by imposing curfew and locking down millions of Kashmiris in their homes, cannot suppress their struggle for self-determination.
In his message on the black day, being observed on October 27 against Indian aggression in occupied Kashmir, he said that by revoking special status of occupied Kashmir, the Narendra Modi government had violated all moral, diplomatic and political laws.
Kashmiris’ passion for freedom had not subsided despite the Indian state terrorism in occupied Kashmir. Depriving Kashmiris of their right to self-determination was an open violation of human rights, he said adding that Indian government could not crush the freedom passion of Kashmiri people through bullets.
Kashmiri youth were offering sacrifices for freedom. The Pakistani government and people were standing beside Kashmiris and no one could separate Pakistan and Kashmir. The international community should pressurise India to stop atrocities in occupied Kashmir. He appreciated the struggle of Kashmiri people for getting their right to self-determination and said that the main purpose of observing the black day was to make Kashmiri people realise that they were not alone in their struggle. Meanwhile, Members of National and Punjab Assembly belonging to different districts called on Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar at the Chief Minister Office here Saturday and informed him about the problems of their constituencies.
Matters regarding various programs of public welfare and development projects came under discussion during the meeting. Usman Buzdar said that every single second is precious. Wasting time in the politics of chaos is an injustice with the nation. There is a dire need that political forces, in present scenario, should display foresightedness and maturity. He said that sacrificing the journey towards development and progress on chaos is not wisdom and those who are practicing negative politics should give preference to rationalism over emotionalism. Those elements, which are afraid of change, are doing politics of criticism for the sake of criticism. He said that journey of public welfare will continue without caring such criticism.
He directed assembly members to increase their liaison with the masses and leave no stone unturned in solving their problems those who met with Chief Minister include Mehr Ghulam Muhammad Lali, Rubina Jamil, Fouzia Behram, Farrukh Altaf, Brig (r) Rahat Amanullah Bhatti, Karamat Khokhar, Mamon Tarar and a ticket holder of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf from Pakpatton and Muhammad Shah Khagha.
