Byline: Maqbool Malik

ISLAMABAD -- Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday reiterated Pakistan's all-out support to the people of Kashmir in their just struggle for right to self-determination and made it clear that anybody talking of crossing the Line of Control will commit enmity with Kashmir and Pakistan.

'Some elements in AJK are instigating Jihad and armed struggle against the Indian forces which will be a great damage to the Kashmir cause, and is against the interest of Pakistan as well,' said the Prime Minister in a short video message broadcast live on the state-run Pakistan Television (PTV).

He urged the AJK people not to engage in the armed struggle against the Indian forces in the disputed Himalayan territory.

Imran Khan said the Kashmiris' movement is a political struggle and we have to extend our moral, diplomatic and political support in this regard.

He said that India is looking for such an opportunity to crush the freedom struggle of Kashmiris.

The Prime Minister said that he highlighted the Kashmir issue in his speech at the United Nations and during interactions with other world leaders. He said now the international community is aware of the oppression going on in Occupied Kashmir at the hands of Indian forces.

The Prime Minister said that Narndera Modi, after coming to power for second term, imposed curfew in Occupied Kashmir and no one knows what is happening in the valley.

He said the Modi regime has changed Kashmir's status by claiming that he wants development there. He said Modi should hold a referendum if he wants peace, stability, and development in Kashmir.

Imran Khan said all the mainstream political parties of Kashmir have boycotted the recently held local government polls in Occupied Kashmir. He said the ruling BJP met a humiliated defeat even in the controlled elections there.

He said New Delhi rulers have deployed 900,000 troops to subjugate Kashmiris voice.

He said that the Modi government wants to hold Pakistan responsible for unrest in Kashmir to deflect attention of the world community from the bloodbath continuing in the valley.

He assured the people of Kashmir that he is not only their ambassador, but will also become their spokesperson and advocate supporting their struggle till they achieve their right to self-determination as enshrined in the UN Resolutions.
