As the nation commemorates Kashmir Solidarity Day this year, it is more than a mere observance; it stands as a poi­gnant reminder of the enduring struggle of the Kashmiri people for their right to self-determination, as outlined by UN res­olutions. People from various walks of life will once again unite this year, demonstrating unwavering support for the Kashmiri cause and renewing their commitment to the liberation of Kash­mir from Indian subjugation. President Dr. Arif Alvi and interim Prime Minister Anwar ul Haq Kakar, in their separate messages on the eve of Kashmir Solidarity Day, reiterated the nation’s steadfast support for the Kashmir cause and the people of India-held Jammu and Kashmir. He un­derlined that the day serves as an occasion to pay rich tribute to the sacrifices made by Kashmiris over the last 76 years. Furthermore, the day serves as a platform for global attention to the challenges faced by Kashmiris, given the militarised environment in IIOJK.
