PARIS, AUG 11 (DNA) – Pakistani community of France offered special prayers for the safety and welfare of Kashmiris and pledged their support to their demand for self-determination in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) during EidulAdha prayers.

Special arrangements were made at the Embassy of Pakistan to France where community members, officers and staff of the Embassy alongwith their families offered Eid Prayers in large number.

Ambassador of Pakistan to France Mr. MoinulHaque in his message to the Pakistani Community said that the Indian Government’s unconstitutional, illegitimate and unilateral act to alter the status of Jammu & Kashmir, which is an international disputed territory, is a blatant violation of international law, UN Security Council resolution, bilateral agreements and the promises made to the Kashmiri people by the Indian leaders themselves.

The Ambassador called upon the Pakistani diaspora in France and rest of the world to stand shoulder to shoulder with their Kashmiri brothers and sisters in these difficult times. He declared that Pakistan would continue to extend diplomatic, political and moral support to the Kashmiris in their just cause.

He called upon the international community and especially the government of France to play its role as permanent member of the Security Council for the final settlement of the Kashmir dispute as per UNSC resolutions.=DNA
