Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party has extended its heartfelt felicitations to the people and government of Pakistan on the first anniversary of the successful Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos, terming it a defining moment in Pakistan's history that not only altered the strategic dynamics of the region but also forced an aggressive and bullying neighbour to retreat after suffering a crushing defeat.In a statement issued on Friday, DFP Spokesman Advocate Arshad Iqbal said the strategic victory, which significantly enhanced Pakistan's prestige and standing at the global level, was a classic example of national unity, military strength, and resilience in the face of aggression.He said Pakistan's measured yet decisive response to Indian aggression under Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos served as a powerful reminder that the Pakistani nation stands united, resilient, and fully prepared to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.Expressing satisfaction over Pakistan's growing image as a g lobal peacemaker and trusted mediator, he urged the country's civil and military leadership to utilise their increasing political and diplomatic influence to help secure an early and amicable settlement of the long-pending Kashmir dispute.Describing Kashmir as the unfinished agenda of the Partition of the subcontinent, he said the unresolved dispute remained the principal cause of recurring bloodshed and instability in the region.Expressing grave concern over India's 'imperialistic presence' in the region, he said nearly a million Indian troops present in the disputed territory pose a serious existential threat to Kashmiris who continue to feel insecure and unsafe in their own homeland.He also condemned India's Hindutva-driven regime for using the Pahalgam false-flag operation as a pretext for launching last year's reckless war against Pakistan. 'Under the BJP government, India has emerged as a rogue state with little regard for international law and regional stability,' he added.Meanwhile, the DFP sp okesman also thanked Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar for highlighting the continued human rights violations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.He praised the Pakistan's consistent political, diplomatic and moral support to Kashmiris' just cause and highlighting their plight at international level.
