According to a message reaching and released to the media here late Tuesday, Raja Khalid, also Chairman Youth Wing Europe, enthusiastically raised slogans during the speech of the Prime Minister of Pakistan. He chanted slogans of “Long live Pakistan Armed Forces,” “Long live Field Marshal General Syed Asim Munir,” and “Long live Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif.” In response, the entire hall echoed withslogans.
Earlier while xpressing his views to the media yesterday, he said that during the decisive Operation Banyan al-Marsous, under the leadership of Field Marshal General Syed Asim Munir, the Pakistan Armed Forces shot down six Indian fighter jets, opening the eyes of the entire world.
He further stated that despite the historic success of Operation Banyan al-Marsous and the clear defeat inflicted upon India, the current situation in Indian- Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir remains extremely grave and alarming. The confessional statements of the puppetvChief Minister of the occupied Kashmir testify to the reality that Indian oppression and tyranny, extrajudicial killings, large-scale arrests, confiscation of properties, and the heinous campaign of settling non-state residents are continuing with intensity. “The objective is to erase the Muslim majority identity of occupied Jammu and Kashmir and deprive the Kashmiri people of their fundamental right to self-determination”, he added.
Khalid said that the international community must accept the fact that the dream of peace in South Asia cannot be realized until the Kashmiri people are granted their inalienable and internationally recognized right to self-determination.
He reaffirmed the resolve that the Kashmiri people will continue their freedom struggle until they achieve their birthright of self-determination.
