Wani terms COAS Gen. Asim Munir’s statement as a great morale booster for Kashmiris

Islamabad: Senior leader All Parties Hurriyat Conference Altaf Hussain Wani has welcomed the Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir’s recent statement on Kashmir and termed it as a great morale booster for the freedom-loving people of Kashmir.

In a statement issued here today,

Wani said that the Army Chief’s categorical stance on the issue of Kashmir and reaffirmation of Pakistan’s all-out support to Kashmiris’ legitimate struggle has solidified the Kashmiris’ resolve besides rejuvenating their spirit and passion for freedom.

The army chief’s bold remarks, he said, have left the Indian disinformation networks completely exposed that keep on churning out lies to create cobwebs of confusion around Kashmir.

Expressing his gratitude to the people and government of Pakistan for their consistent and continued support to the cause of Kashmir, Wani said that Pakistan and its armed forces, whom the people of occupied Kashmir consider as their saviours, have always supported the Kashmiris’ just struggle for the right to self determination.

Terming Kashmir as the bloody legacy of the partition of the subcontinent, Wani said that as an important stakeholder to the dispute, Pakistan has always expressed its willingness to resolve the dispute peacefully in accordance with the UNSC resolutions.

He said that India’s traditional intransigence has always been a stumbling block in the way of peace in the region.

He said that the Indian leadership needs to acknowledge the harsh reality that peace and stability in the region was inescapably linked to a just and equitable settlement of the Kashmir issue.

Wani said that it was equally important that the international actors should use their political and diplomatic clout to help resolve the lingering Kashmir conflict that has been the main cause and consequence of bloodshed and violence in the region.
