Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi honored the memory of 22 Kashmiri protesters who died on July 13, 1931, during demonstrations against the Dogra administration. The minister connected their sacrifice to Pakistan's continued advocacy for Kashmir's right to self-determination. He emphasized that these individuals demonstrated unwavering courage when they faced deadly force while peacefully defending their religious freedoms. Naqvi declared that the legacy of resistance established nearly a century ago continues to inspire contemporary liberation movements. The official characterized their deaths as symbols of an enduring spirit that refuses to surrender.
The minister drew direct parallels between historical oppression under Dogra rule and current policies implemented by the Modi administration in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Naqvi accused Indian forces of perpetrating extrajudicial killings against young people and suppressing media coverage through journalist intimidation. He described these actions as fundamental violations of human dignity that mirror past injustices. The minister criticized India's rejection of former President Donald Trump's mediation proposal as evidence of aggressive intentions. Naqvi argued that this refusal revealed what he termed a confrontational approach to regional disputes.
Pakistan maintains its role as protector and advocate for Kashmiri independence according to the interior minister's declaration. Naqvi stated that Kashmir Martyrs' Day represents both historical remembrance and renewed commitment to supporting freedom aspirations. He emphasized that the principles established on July 13, 1931, remain alive and will continue motivating future generations seeking justice. The minister concluded that Pakistan will never abandon its responsibility to champion Kashmiri liberation efforts. This anniversary serves as a permanent reminder of unfinished struggles for self-governance.
