SRINAGAR (Kashmir English): The illegally detained Chairman of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), Masarrat Aalam Butt, have extended their warm congratulations to the people and government of Pakistan on the eve of Pakistan Day.
Hurriyat leaders and organizations prayed for the nation’s continued progress, stability, and prosperity.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in a message from New Delhi’s Tihar Jail, Masarrat Aalam Butt expressed solidarity with the people of Pakistan, describing the country as a beacon of hope for oppressed Kashmiris and the entire Muslim Ummah.
He emphasized that Pakistan, founded on a noble ideology, serves as a great blessing for Muslims worldwide. “The Kashmiri people are making daily sacrifices to preserve this ideology, reaffirming their unwavering commitment to the cause,” he said.
Masarat Alam made it clear that no power can weaken the strong cultural, religious, and civilizational bond shared between Kashmiris and Pakistan. He reiterated that Kashmiris are engaged in the struggle for the completion of Pakistan, and their dream of joining the blessed nation will one day come true.
APHC leaders and organizations, including Molvi Bashir Irfani, Ghulam Mohammad Khan Sopori, Advocate Arshad Iqbal, Mohammad Yusuf Naqash, and Syed Sibte Shabir Qummi, in their statements issued from Srinagar, commemorated the importance of the Pakistan Resolution passed on March 23, 1940.
They hailed the resolution as one of the most significant milestones in South Asian history.
The leaders highlighted how the March 23 resolution invigorated Muslims across the region, uniting them under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and the All India Muslim League in their fight for freedom.
They pointed out that the current plight of minorities, particularly Muslims, in India, has proven the legitimacy of the demand for a separate homeland for Muslims in the region. The leaders expressed profound gratitude for Pakistan’s steadfast political, diplomatic, and moral support for the Kashmiri people’s rightful struggle for self-determination.
