Islamabad: The National Assembly has reiterated that Pakistan will never compromise on the right of the Kashmiri people to self-determination as guaranteed under international law and UN resolutions.

To this respect, the House on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution moved by Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Engineer Amir Muqam in Urdu and by Shazia Atta Marri in English.

The National Assembly strongly condemned India's illegal, unilateral and morally indefensible actions of 5 August 2019, which aimed to alter the internationally recognized status of Jammu and Kashmir in violation of international law and United Nations Security Council resolutions.

It declared that no unilateral action by India can change the disputed nature of Jammu and Kashmir, which remains on the agenda of the United Nations.

The resolution affirmed that the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is not an internal matter of India but a global issue requiring a just resolution in accordance with UNSC resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.

It called upon the international community to stand for justice, not silence, in the face of Indian oppression and human rights abuses in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The House affirmed that Pakistan's moral, political and diplomatic support for the Kashmiri people remains unshakable and enduring.

It acknowledged that Kashmir is the unfinished agenda of the partition of the Indian subcontinent, and this House commits to continue raising the Kashmir issue at every regional and international forum.

The Lower House condemned all forms of Indian state violence and coercive tactics aimed at erasing the identity, culture, and political aspirations of the Kashmiri people, which have failed and will continue to fail.

The resolution said the House observes 5 August as a black day that marks the beginning of an illegal siege, gross human rights violations and the denial of fundamental freedoms to the people of IIOJK.

The National Assembly rejected India's attempts at demographic engineering and political persecution in the region, which violate the Geneva Conventions and all norms of international conduct.

The House demanded that India be held accountable for the systematic human rights abuses being committed in IIOJK, including arbitrary detentions, torture, media blackouts and collective punishment.

It declared that silencing the voices of Kashmiris through force, censorship and occupation cannot be defined as peace, it is tyranny.

The House asserted that peace and stability in South Asia are impossible without the just and final resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.

The resolution urged the international community, especially the United Nations, to break its silence and fulfill its long-standing promise to the people of Kashmir.

The House demanded the immediate implementation of all relevant UN Security Council resolutions, which call for a free and impartial plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir.

It insisted that the people of Jammu and Kashmir must be allowed to determine their own future freely, fairly and under the supervision of the United Nations.

It affirmed that while laws can be changed and imposed, the will of a people cannot be revoked by decree or force.

The House further declared that from Srinagar to Islamabad, the heart beats as one for the freedom and dignity of Kashmir.

It recognized that 5 August is not merely a date in history but is a continuing reminder of the need for global conscience and moral clarity on Kashmir.

The National Assembly resolved that Kashmiris have not surrendered, and neither will Pakistan, in its principled support for their cause.
