The Consul General further emphasized that the current situation in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) was in fact the result of the continued denial by India of the right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people through a free and fair plebiscite under the UN auspices that was assured by the UN in its multiple resolutions.

Consul General of Pakistan along with a large numbers of Pakistani community showed their solidarity and support with Kashmiri people and attended this special event. The day commenced with the special prayers for the Kashmiri martyrs.
