According to Radio Pakistan, the Minister emphasized Pakistan’s commitment to supporting the people of Kashmir morally, politically, and diplomatically.

He further highlighted the ongoing situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), citing reports of extrajudicial killings by Indian forces and demolition of properties belonging to Kashmiris. The Minister underscored the unity of the Pakistani nation on the Kashmir issue, noting a strong consensus among Pakistanis in supporting the Kashmiri cause.
