Speaking at the conclusion of the walk, Mr. Wazir said the day was being observed to pay tribute to the struggle and sacrifices of the Kashmiri people and to amplify their voice at the global level.
“KMU not only fulfills its responsibilities in education and research, but also feels duty-bound on matters of national and humanitarian importance,” he said.
“Pakistan will continue its political, diplomatic and moral support for the Kashmiri people, and the Pakistani nation, especially the youth, will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with our Kashmiri brothers and sisters.” He added that KMU would continue to highlight the Kashmir issue through awareness programs, seminars, walks and other constructive activities, and contribute to the promotion of peace, justice and human rights.

The event concluded with a special prayer for peace, security and prosperity of the people of Kashmir. The university administration reiterated its commitment to observe Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir every year to express solidarity with the Kashmiri people.
