MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): With a dazzling zest to affix their destiny with Pakistan at all costs, gallant people, dwelling all-over the Himalayan State of Jammu and Kashmir will celebrate the sanctified Pakistan Day today (March 23) with a newest resolve to smash the manacles of the tyrannical Indian invaders — making them quit the illegitimately held part of the paradise on earth instantaneously.
Brisk preparations have so far been completed across Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) as well as in Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) to celebrate Pakistan Day with traditional zeal and fervor coupled with renewal of the pledge to continue the struggle for freedom of occupied Kashmir from Indian yoke and accomplish the dream of accession of entire Jammu and Kashmir state to Pakistan.
The day will dawn with special prayers at Fajr, in the mosques on both sides of the fragile LoC — standing between the kin — by bowing before Almighty Allah, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful for the evaporation of the obstacle so that the Kashmiris could establish interaction with each other freely which is palpable only with the exit of the intruders — the Indian troops from the Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
They will also pray for the translation into reality of the resolution of July the 19th in 1947 adopted at the Srinagar residence of Sardar Mohammad Ibrahim Khan, wherein the pragmatically represented 70-stalwarts assemblage of Kashmiris — with Ch. Hamidullah Khan in the chair — had resolved with one voice to link the destiny of the State with Pakistan alone ‘because the heartbeat of Kashmiris has been, is and would continue to remain synchronized with their Pakistani brethren alone.
The people of the Jammu Kashmir state – living in Azad Jammu Kashmir and Indian Illegally occupied Jammu Kashmir plus elsewhere in the world will simultaneously pray for the stability, security, affluence and swift progress of Pakistan and for the early success of the Kashmir freedom movement.
In AJK, the day will be observed in a befitting manner. Pakistan flags will be hoisted atop all small and major private and public buildings.
Various private social, political and public representative organizations are actively engaged in devising special programmes to celebrate the Pakistan day.
All the three AJK radio stations of Mirpur, Muzaffarabad and Tararkheil and AJK TV will on air special programmes to highlight the historic importance of the day besides broadcasting special messages of the AJK President Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry and the Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq.
The scheduled special Pakistan day flag-hoisting ceremonies in all small and major cities of the liberated territory will be the hallmark of the day.
The major ceremonies will be held in all 10 district headquarters of AJK including Muzaffarabad, Neelam valley, Mirpur, Bhimber, Kotli, Bagh, Sudhnoti and Rawalakot, Hattiyaan and Haveli districts.
