ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will address the nation today at 5pm. The prime minister will take the nation into confidence over the Indian-held Kashmir issue.
PM Nawaz on Wednesday said that India has two choices on Kashmir, either keep on with its aggression that has left over 45 people dead over the past 11 days or to give people of the in the disputed Himalayan valley their due rights which it had promised in the UN.
In a message on Black Day to protest against the atrocities of security forces in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK), Nawaz said that Pakistan stands with Kashmiris in every hour of trial adding that this relation is based not only on religion, civilisation and humanity but also on blood.
“We will never leave Kashmiris alone and their case will be fought at all the diplomatic, political and human rights fora,” he reiterated. He added that Pakistan cannot keep itself aloof if such recurrent inhuman treatment was meted out to the Kashmiris in IHK noting that the entire nation is expressing solidarity with the Kashmiri people.
He said the current freedom wave in Kashmir will not subside and that when nations rise in such a way, nothing can stop them in their path towards freedom. “India has no other option but to accept its defeat before the heroic struggle,” he said.
Earlier, PM Nawaz’s daughter Maryam Nawaz took to twitter the other day and said that her father is feeling better after getting treatment for an infection in part of his leg incision.
The prime minister had undergone a heart surgery in London in May and returned to Lahore this month on the advice of his doctors after recuperating from surgery.
