Kotli, Azad Kashmir,<\/p>\n
When the Kashmiris will get the right to self-determination, Pakistan will offer Kashmiris either to accede to Pakistan or remain independent, announced Prime Minister\u00a0Imran Khan on Friday, media broadcasters reported<\/p>\n
Addressing a rally to mark the\u00a0Kashmir\u00a0Solidarity Day in Kotli,\u00a0Imran Khan said the United Nations has miserably failed to honor its commitment made to the people of Kashmiris.<\/p>\n
The prime minister said he would raise voice for the Kashmiris at all forums. He, however, offered India that Pakistan was ready to take two steps forward if it implemented UN resolutions on the Kashmir issue. \u201cBut please do not misconstrue our desire for peace as our weakness,\u201d PM Imran Khan told India.<\/p>\n
He said categorically that Pakistan had nothing to do with the Pulwama attack. \u201cModi abolished the special status of the state of\u00a0Kashmir\u00a0only to win elections. We extended an olive branch to India, but it spurned our offer,\u201d he regretted.<\/p>\n
He said it was unfortunate that the United Nations had not fulfilled the promise it had made to the Kashmiris. \u201cIt has failed to get its resolutions on the\u00a0Kashmir\u00a0issue implemented,\u201d he regretted.<\/p>\n
The prime minister assured the Kashmiris that the entire Pakistani nation stood by them. \u201cIn fact, the entire Muslim Ummah is with you. And even non-Muslims are with you,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He told the gathering that he talked to former US president Donald Trump thrice on the Kashmir issue. PM Imran made it clear to India it could not succeed against Kashmiris however high or mighty it may be.<\/p>\n
The prime minister was of the view that India and the entire region suffered whenever adherents of RSS ideology came to power. \u201cToday, minorities in India are going through hard times. Modi government is pitted against farmers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Imran Khan\u00a0said that India could never win over the resolute Kashmiri people by using force, as the implementation of UNSC resolution guaranteeing the right to self-determination was the only solution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorld history tells that no powerful army could ever win over a population. When a nation stands united, they defeated even the powerful armies. The US, a superpower could not win in Vietnam. No superpower could win in Afghanistan. France could not win over the population in Algeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Reiterating his commitment to raising the Kashmiri\u2019s voice across the world, the prime minister said that instead of suppressing the\u00a0Kashmir\u00a0people, Narendra Modi\u2019s Hindutva ideology, on the contrary, would destroy the Indian society.<\/p>\n
In a series of tweets posted on Friday, Prime Minister\u00a0Imran Khan\u00a0expressed the hope that the achievement of Kashmiris\u2019 goal of self-determination was not far as the younger generation was taking the struggle forward with even greater resolve.<\/p>\n
\nOn #KashmirSolidarityDay<\/a>, I want to reiterate that Pakistan stands united & resolute with the Kashmiris in their legitimate struggle for self-determination, which has been reaffirmed by the international community in numerous UNSC resolutions.<\/p>\n
