In occupied Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has felicitated the Pakistanis on the eve of their National Day and said that the Pakistan Resolution, passed on March 23, 1940 in Lahore was a source of inspiration and guideline for the Muslims of Indian subcontinent.

Every day of every Kashmiri is a Pakistan Day as our hearts beat for Pakistan and we always pray for peace, progress, and stability of the country, the statement said.
“Since Pakistan emerged as a nuclear power, the country became the main target of the enemies. The country, prior to becoming a nuclear nation, fell victim to many internal and external conspiracies of which the Fall of Dhaka was an open example,” it said.
Terming Pakistan as a worldly hope for the Muslim world, the DFP said that the Kashmiris believed that a strong Pakistan could play a crucial role in bringing peace in South Asia. Millions of people have sacrificed their lives for achieving Pakistan and the country has to rise to overcome its problems, it added.
