LAHORE, Oct 27, 2025 — Punjab’s Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Malik Faisal Ayub Khokhar has reiterated Pakistan’s unwavering solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, describing October 27, 1947, as one of the darkest days in history when India “illegally occupied” the disputed region.
Speaking at events marking Kashmir Black Day, Khokhar said the people of Kashmir have continued their “courageous struggle for freedom and self-determination” for more than seven decades, despite “unprecedented hardships and sacrifices.”
He noted that Pakistan observes October 27 each year to remind the world that India’s actions in Jammu and Kashmir were a “clear violation of United Nations resolutions and the principles of the partition of the subcontinent.”
Under the leadership of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, Khokhar said, the provincial government is organizing a series of seminars, rallies, and awareness programs across Punjab to express solidarity with the Kashmiri people and educate youth about their just cause.
“The freedom movement of the Kashmiri people is a legitimate and moral struggle that must be recognized globally,” he said, urging the international community and the United Nations to ensure implementation of their resolutions granting Kashmiris their right to self-determination.
Khokhar reaffirmed that Pakistan and its people will continue to stand “shoulder to shoulder” with their Kashmiri brothers and sisters and raise their voice for justice and freedom at all international platforms.
