Islamabad: Special Assistant to Prime Minister for Human Rights and Women Empowerment Mushaal Hussein Mullick said that the non-resolution of the Kashmir issue can trigger a third world war and urged that the international powers should play a role in its early solution. She said this while addressing as Chief Guest a ceremony organized at Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry to observe Kashmir Day.
She said that Kashmir Solidarity Day serves as a reminder that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are not alone in their struggle against the Indian illegal occupation. She described the people of Jammu and Kashmir as a barrier against Modi’s attempts to create an Akhand Bharat. She characterized the Hindutva regime of India and the Zionist regime of Israel as significant threats to world peace. She asserted that both Modi and Netanyahu were in a race, with Modi pursuing a brutal genocide in Kashmir and Netanyahu in Palestine.
She asserted that India was actively altering the demographics of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir by indiscriminately granting Kashmiri domiciles to non-Kashmiris. He expressed concern about the eradication of Muslim heritage under the auspices of the Modi government. She urged the international community to intervene and play a role in the solution of the Kashmir issue in accordance with the UN resolutions. She said that a Kashmir Committee has been formed in PM Secretariat to develop a long term strategic plan on Kashmir for the government.

Ahsan Zafar Bakhtawari, President, Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ICCI) has said that Pakistan stands with the people of Occupied Kashmir and will continue to provide them moral and diplomatic support till the time they achieve their right to self-determination. He said that Kashmir Day reminds us to reiterate our full support to the Indian-administered Kashmiri people. He said this day highlights a dark chapter in human history as India’s illegal occupation of Occupied Kashmir is an international dispute that should be resolved according to the UN’s Security Council resolutions.
He said that Indian brutalities against Kashmiri people spanning over seven decades have failed to break the resolve of the Kashmiri people. He urged the UN and the international community to play a role in resolving this dispute, which is a flashpoint between Pakistan and India. Without resolving this dispute, establishing peace in the region is not possible. The South Asian region can move towards development and prosperity by promoting regional trade, but until the Kashmir issue is resolved, it is impossible to achieve these goals.
Engr. Azhar ul Islam Zafar, Vice President ICCI stressed that all the major powers of the world should play a role in the just solution of the Kashmir issue so that this region gets better development and moves out of poverty towards prosperity.
Zafar Bakhtawari, former President ICCI and Secretary General UBG Pakistan said that Kashmir and Palestine issues are kept alive to destroy the potential of Pakistan and the Middle East. He lauded the role of Ms. Meshaal Hussein Mullick for the Kashmir cause and hoped that Kashmir would one day get freedom from India.
Naveed Malik President Islamabad High Court Bar, Ajmal Baloch, Rana Muhammad Akram, Rana Saeed Doshi, Ms. Nasira Ali, and others also spoke on the occasion and called for the resolution of Kashmir issues as per aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
