The Embassy of Pakistan in Amman organized a Seminar today at the Chancery in the context of Kashmir Solidary Day. The event was attended by Jordanian notables, members of academia, think tanks, media and Pakistani community.
The speakers included General Al Ain Ghazi Al Tayyeb, Retired General/Senate Chamber; Dr. Adab Saud, former Senator; Mr. Muzer Abu Rassa’a, a Culture Activist and Member of Culture Association; Mr. Omar Al Armouti, Historian Writer; Mr. Salah Hammad, President of Graduate Club; Mr. Mahmoud Rahhal, President of Writers’ Union and Major General Sajjad Ali Khan (Retd), Ambassador of Pakistan to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The Speakers highlighted the continued Indian brutalities against the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir. They underscored that Jammu & Kashmir is the unfinished agenda of the Partition of British India, which led to illegal Indian occupation of Jammu & Kashmir.
The speakers also condemned and urged the international community to compel India to revive Article 370 & 35A, (which guaranteed the independent status of IOK as per the Indian Constitution), which the RSS Indian government repealed on 5 August 2019.
The Speakers appreciated the courageous and valiant Kashmiris for their determination in the face of Indian state tyranny and for waging the historic and sacred struggle against the Indian occupation, subjugation and oppression. Moreover, similarities between the Palestine and Jammu & Kashmir disputes were also drawn as both are stories of grave human tragedies and sufferings at the hands of occupying powers.
Special prayers were also offered for the martyrs of Jammu & Kashmir and Palestine and for the freedom of Kashmir and Palestine.
