Expressing complete solidarity with the Kashmiri people, Asif said that the oppressed people of the Occupied Jammu and Kashmir wanted to be affiliated with Pakistan and continuous hoisting of the Pakistani flags in the Held Valley shows the determination of the Kashmiri people for the purpose.
Addressing a meeting of the Kashmiri people at Pasrur city here, Federal Minister for Law and Climate Change Zahid Hamid said that the sacrifices of thousands of innocent Kashmiri martyrs would become fruitful, as the sun of freedom of the Held valley from Indian yoke will rise soon.

He expressed complete solidarity with the innocent and oppressed people of Occupied Jammu & Kashmir, and said that early peaceful solution to Kashmir dispute has now become vital for ensuring sustainable peace in the Indo-Pak Subcontinent.
