In his official message, on the occasion of Kashmir Siege Day,the minister condemned India's unilateral abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A of its Constitution, terming it a blatant violation of United Nations resolutions and international laws. “This unlawful move stripped the Kashmiri people of their basic political and constitutional rights,” Tarar stated.

“Pakistan will continue to extend unwavering support to the Kashmiri people's right to self-determination and will expose India's illegal actions at every global platform,” he said.

The Minister urged the international community not to remain silent on the ongoing oppression in Kashmir, asserting that silence in the face of injustice amounts to complicity.He reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to stand by the people of Kashmir in their struggle for freedom, peace, and justice.
