This day marks the solemn remembrance of the illegal actions taken by the Indian government on August 5, 2019, which disregarded international law and the United Nations’ resolutions.
In his message on Saturday, the Chairman Senate reiterated the commitment of the Pakistani nation to stand shoulder to shoulder with Kashmiris residing on both sides of the Line of Control, as well as those dispersed across the world.
