In connection with Kashmir Solidarity Week, the Directorate of Students Affairs (DSA) of International Islamic University Islamabad in collaboration with Department of Politics and IR, Faculty of Social Sciences, FSS, IIUI, organized a seminar on “Kashmir Solidarity Day and Remembering the Right of Self Determination” which was held at Faculty Block-B Auditorium of the new campus.
Brig (R) Dr. Muhammad Khan, Professor of Department of Politics & IR delivered a key note speech on the topic, while Dr. Tauqeer Hussain Sargana, Students Advisor (Male), Officials from Directorate of Students Affairs and large number of students from Politics & IR Department participated in the seminar.
Addressing the students, Dr. Muhammad Khan precisely shared history of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). Dr. Khan said that each year, Government and people of Pakistan celebrate 5th February as a solidarity day to show solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir to strengthen the cause of Kahmir. He added that the primary focus of this solidarity is the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), who have undergone massive human rights violations at the hands of Indian security forces.
He said Kashmir Solidarity Day was celebrated in a changed environment where Kashmiris of IIOJK are still under detention and siege after India unilaterally and illegally changed its status on 05 August 2019. He told that this is yet another criminal act of the Indian Government, a violation of the UN Charter, UN resolutions and a serious violation of the Humanitarian Declaration-1948.
Dr. Khan urged the young generation to be awakes for the cause of Kashmiri people by using the weapon of social media highlighting brutalities of India security forces in the region at different platforms so the world can recognize the ugly face of nasty democracy of India where they are trying to undermine the voices of innocent Kashmiri people in the terrain since decades.
Dr. Tauqeer Hussain Sargana, Students Advisor (Male) who is also Assistant Professor, Department of Politics and IR, IIUI shared the eras of various war fares among students across the globe and highlighted the fifth generation war fare in which he briefed participants that how nations are being destroyed through hybrid war during the fifth generation war fare.
Dr. Sargana expressed the quote of Quaid-I-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah for Kashmir people “Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan and no nation can allow its jugular vein to be held by the enemy”.
At the end of seminar students asked various questions from the key note speakers of the seminar.
The 2nd day’s activities of the Kashmir Solidarity Week ended with revived passion for Kashmir cause and slogans of “Kashmir Banay Ga Pakistan”…Inshallah.
