Provincial Assembly of Punjab
Lahore
Press Release – August 5, 2025
Lahore ( ) – On the occasion of Youm-e-Istehsal Kashmir the Speaker of the Punjab Assembly, Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan, said in his message that August 5, 2019, is one of the darkest days in the history of Kashmir. On this day, India illegally ended the special status of the occupied region of Jammu and Kashmir, violating the basic rights of the Kashmiri people.
For the past 78 years, India has been using force, control, and suppression against the people of Kashmir. However, the Kashmiri struggle for freedom continues with full determination.
Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan further stated that India’s illegal control over occupied Kashmir is a clear breach of United Nations resolutions, and the international community fully supports the Kashmiri people’s cause. He added that by openly ignoring international law, India has put the peace of the entire region at risk. The presence of over one million Indian troops in the occupied area is clear evidence of India’s oppressive actions.
He said the sacrifices of the Kashmiri people prove that they have never surrendered and never will. Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan concluded by saying that the day is not far when the sun of freedom will rise over the occupied valley.
