Prime Minister Azad Jammu and Kashmir Chaudhry Anwar ul Haq said that Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) sacrificed not only his own life but also his loved ones for the establishment of truth and justice.
In his message issued on the eve of 10th Muharram (Ashura), the PM, while highlighting the matchless sacrifices rendered by Imam Hussain (RA) and his followers, said, ” Hussain is the symbol of sacrifice and struggle for right against wrong and for justice and truth against injustice and falsehood”.
Terming Karbala as an unforgettable incident in the history of Islam, he said, the tragic incident speaks volumes about the patience, fortitude, courage, and perseverance Hazrat Imam Hussain, his family and followers have shown during their struggle for truth against falsehood.
He said that, following in the footsteps of Imam Hussain (RA), the people of Kashmir have been scripting a new history of resistance and courage by raising the banner of revolt against the oppressor, who was much bigger in size and strength. “Today, every Kashmiri in Occupied Kashmir is ready to fight for the protection of Islam”, he said.
Urging India to shun its policy of intransigence, the PM said that it was high time that the Indian government must accept the ground reality and gave Kashmiris their birthright, the right to self-determination.
He said that Kashmiris’ struggle for the right to self determination would continue till every inch of occupied Kashmir was freed from India’s illegal occupation.
