QUETTA: AJK President Sardar Masood Khan has said Indian forces’ excesses and aggression cannot suppress the struggle of Kashmiri people for freedom and they will continue their movement till the liberation of their land from Indian occupation.

The AJK president was speaking to Kashmiris living in Balochistan at a photo exhibition here on Thursday.

The exhibition was organised by Farzand-i-Kashmir and United Jammu and Kashmir organisations to highlight the plight of Kashmiris in India-held Kashmir and atrocities being committed there by Indian forces.

Sardar Masood Khan said that Kashmir was the unfinished agenda of the partition of India and it would be accomplished by Kashmiris.

Referring to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the AJK president said that the CPEC was a ray of hope not only for the people of Balochistan but for the entire country.

He said there were no Pakhtun and non-Pakhtun differences in AJK and no such attempt would be allowed by anyone.

He said that issues of Kashmir Colony would be taken up with the government of Balochistan for their resolution.

Mr Khan said that China and Muslim countries wanted justice with the people of Kashmir but the international politics was hampering the resolution of the Kashmir issue.
