Sardar Attique Ahmed Khan, ex-Premier of AJK, President Muslim Conference on Wednesday extended his warm congratulations to the brave people of Gilgit Baltistan on their 76th Independence Day today, being jubilantly observed in the region. It was on this Day 76 years ago that the people of Gilgit Baltistan achieved their self-fought independence from the Dogra autocracy.
In his congratulation message Sardar Attique Ahmed Khan said that independence of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan is partial; we have to struggle together to oust illegal occupying forces of India from the rest of the Jammu and kashmir state. There shall be no let-up in our continuing struggle. Horrendous atrocities being inflicted on our brethren in India-occupied part of Kashmir are in fact deep wounds on our hearts and minds. We have to free people of occupied Kashmir from Indian subjugation and it is our commitment to history. We have to fulfill our commitment at all costs, he asserted.
He paid tributes to the people, government and institutions of Pakistan for resolutely standing by the struggling people of Kashmir in their sustained struggle. He wished greater progress and prosperity to the people of Gilgit Baltistan.
