ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, while paying homage to the sacrifices of Kashmiri people in India-occupied Kashmir (IOK), reiterated Pakistan’s unflinching and steadfast moral, diplomatic and political support for the just cause of Jammu and Kashmir. He said the support would continue till the realisation of the lawful right to selfdetermination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. In a message on the occasion of the observance of Kashmir Black Day, the prime minister said in the wake of the extra-judicial killing of the young icon of Kashmiri freedom struggle, Burhan Wani, on July 8, the brutality of the Indian occupation forces had been intensified. “They have shed away all norms of humanity and civility in committing the worst form of state terrorism against the defenceless and hapless masses of IOK with the misplaced perception that they can crush the legitimate Kashmir struggle,” he added. The prime minister said the Indian occupation forces were slaughtering the civilians with complete impunity.
