Dr. Arif Alvi also said that as we commemorate this Independence Day, we should not forget our brothers and sisters of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K) who have been subjected to harsh brutalities by Indian security forces.  The present was of the view that India has been committing gross human rights violations for over three decades and has intensified its brutalization with extra-judicial killings of innocent people in fake encounters since the imposition of lock-down on August 5, 2019.  President Arif Alvi said that India is targeting all minorities and wants to impose Hindutva ideology in the country but these oppressive measures would further enhance hatred and resentment against her.  “I assure the resilient people of IIOJ&K that Pakistan would continue to support them in their just struggle for their right to self-determination as enshrined in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions,” he said. “While felicitating the nation, I call upon every Pakistani to stand firm and work for progress and prosperity of the Country. We need to stand united to meet the social, economic and security challenges being confronted by the nation,” the president concluded.
