Atta Tarr, the Federal Minister for Information, Broadcasting, National Heritage and Culture of Pakistan, said his country would continue to stand by the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir and their right to self-determination. During a webinar organized by the Pakistani Embassy in Berlin on the occasion of Kashmir Solidarity Day, Tarar reiterated Pakistan’s determination to keep supporting the Kashmiris in their struggle against further aggression through a video link.
Pakistan’s Advocacy for Kashmir
In his speech, Tarar underscored that it is incumbent upon every Pakistani to raise this issue at international forums. The Foreign Minister spoke about how Pakistan had persistently raised the question of Kashmir before different international organizations, including UNO, among others. The diplomat clarified that this advocacy was not just diplomatic gestures but an integral part of his country’s foreign policy. He promised never to stop highlighting issues related to J&K until substantial action is taken worldwide.
Tarar’s address remained consistent with Pakistan’s long-held position on Indian-occupied Kashmir. He expressed sympathy towards residents of Srinagar and elsewhere in the valley. He noted that Islamabad makes statements about them and actively engages in diplomatic efforts to resolve this crisis. The Minister is involved at a crucial time when tensions in Kashmir remain high and global attention is insufficient.
Duty of International Community
Accordingly, Tarar insisted that global leaders address human rights abuses in India. He lamented the shoddy response from all corners of the world concerning what has been happening since 5 August 2019, when India changed its constitutional status illegally, thus increasing tensions amid greater concerns over human rights.
The minister pleaded that global leaders and organizations proactively approach this problem. He explained that while Pakistan keeps raising its concerns and others have them within themselves, only the international community’s support is important to secure justice and peace. We must coordinate a global effort to stop human rights violations and ensure Kashmiris’ voices are heard.
Pakistan’s Solidarity with Kashmir
Tarar’s comments also reflected a broader commitment within Pakistan to the cause of Kashmir. He said that Pakistan will always be a strong advocate for the people of Jammu and Kashmir at both national and international levels. The idea underlying the government’s position is more than just providing diplomatic backing; it goes beyond that to ensure that the global community remains interested in what occurs concerning this country.
In conclusion, Atta Tarr was clear on Pakistan’s unshakeable stand behind the people of Kashmir. Whose right to self-determination is being denied. His speech at the webinar emphasized these ongoing efforts to raise awareness. About the Kashmir issue through international action against abuses. And so, despite relentless efforts by its detractors, Islamabad forges ahead, advocating for justice and peace in Indian-occupied J&K.
