MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): Prime Minister Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Chaudhry Anwar ul Haq, has commended the keynote address delivered by Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir during the overseas Pakistanis conversation, wherein he reaffirmed the nation’s steadfast support for the Kashmir cause.
In a statement, the premier noted that the Army Chief’s comments embody the country’s principled position on Kashmir, rooted in the words of the founding father, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who stated that “Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan.
The PM mentioned that during his recent visit to AJK, the Army Chief made similar remarks that boosted up the morale of Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control.

He recalled that the Kashmiris, through a resolution unanimously adopted at a historic summit in Srinagar on July 19, 1947, chose to align their destiny with the state of Pakistan.
“Our ancestors upheld this ideology, we continue to uphold it, and future generations will stand by it,” the Prime Minister stated.
He said that the entire nation stands firmly behind the Pakistan Army, which is a formidable force in thwarting India’s dream of becoming a regional power.
