Pakistan has reaffirmed its support for the people of Jammu and Kashmir in their ongoing pursuit of self-determination, according to Maj.-Gen. Sohail Khan, Pakistan’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, during an event marking Kashmir Black Day in Abuja.
Observed annually on Oct. 27, Kashmir Black Day serves as a global symbol of protest by Kashmiris against the Indian forces’ occupation of Jammu and Kashmir.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Maj.-Gen. Khan urged the United Nations and international human rights organizations to advocate for Kashmiris’ right to an independent state. “Pakistan stands resolute with our Kashmiri brothers and sisters and remains committed to providing steadfast diplomatic support,” Khan stated.
He highlighted that multiple UN resolutions support Kashmiris’ right to determine their future through a democratic plebiscite, facilitated under the UN’s guidance, and that global organizations have reported ongoing human rights abuses in the region.
Col. Kamran Mushtag, Military Attaché of the High Commission in Nigeria, described Jammu and Kashmir as “the world’s most militarized zone and the largest prison on earth.” He called on the international community, including the UN, human rights groups, and civil society organizations, to act against what he termed as “tyranny and oppression” affecting Kashmiris worldwide.
