Pakistan is observing the Kashmir Solidarity Day, to demonstrate unwavering support for the just struggle of the Kashmiri people in their pursuit of the absolute right to self-determination under UN resolutions.
The Kashmir issue continues to be a contentious point between Pakistan and India, with Islamabad consistently urging the world to facilitate a referendum on Kashmir.
The recent decision by the Indian Supreme Court, ruling that Article 370, guaranteeing special status to Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), was a temporary provision and that the occupied territory is an integral part of India, has further fueled tensions.
The Narendra Modi regime, in violation of UN resolutions and international law, scrapped Articles 370 and 35A of the Indian Constitution on August 5, 2019, leading to the imposition of a military siege in the region.
