LAHORE, Oct 27 (APP):Punjab Minister for Communication and Works (C&W) Malik Sohaib Ahmed Bharth
on Tuesday reiterated Pakistan’s continued political, moral and diplomatic support for the Kashmiri people in their struggle for freedom and the right to self-determination.

their struggle for freedom and the right to self-determination. He said Pakistan would

the international community to play an effective role in ensuring that the Kashmiri people
were granted their fundamental right to self-determination.
He said Pakistan shared an unbreakable bond with Kashmir and would continue
to stand by the Kashmiri people in their pursuit of their legitimate rights.
