LAHORE: Governor Punjab Muhammad Balighur Rehman has said that the brutal state persecution by the Indian rulers cannot stifle and suppress the voice for freedom of the people of Kashmir.
In a special message on the occasion of Yum-e-Eestehsal-e-Kashmir (Kashmir Exploitation Day) here on Friday, the governor said August 5, 2019, would be remembered as the darkest and blackest day in the history of Kashmir when India bluntly abolished the special status of Kashmir by usurping human rights through its illegal action.
“Persecution and violation of rights of Kashmiris in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) are condemnable,” he pointed out adding that India could not suppress the spirit of freedom of Kashmiris despite so brutal persecution.
