Accession to Pakistan Day: IIOJK and Pakistan’s Unbreakable Bond

The Kashmir Accession to Pakistan Resolution was a significant moment in history, adopted on July 19, 1947, during a meeting held at the residence of Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim Khan in Srinagar’s Abi Guzar area by the All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference. Leaders like Khawaja Ghulam-ud-Din Wani and Abdul Rahim Wani played a key role in moving the resolution, which reflected the wishes of the majority of the Kashmiri people to join Pakistan. The decision was driven by factors such as the Muslim-majority population in Kashmir, shared religious and cultural ties, geographical closeness, and economic connections with the territories that would become Pakistan. This resolution serves as a historical document that represents the political aspirations of the Kashmiri people for joining Pakistan, and it is annually remembered on Accession to Pakistan Day.  The resolution was not merely a political move; it was a declaration of freedom, rooted in the belief that IIOJK’s future is inseparably tied to Pakistan’s destiny.

The Accession to Pakistan Resolution continues to serve as the cornerstone of IIOJK’s ongoing struggle. Despite years of brutal suppression by India, this resolution still resonates deeply with Kashmiris, reinforcing their unwavering commitment to Pakistan. Every year, on Accession to Pakistan Day, Kashmiris reaffirm their pledge to unite with Pakistan, a pledge that remains unbroken after over seventy years of Indian oppression. This vision of a free Kashmir, united with Pakistan, remains steadfast: a bond that no external force can undo.

The Sacrifices That Fuel IIOJK’s Struggle

The sacrifices made by Kashmiris in their struggle for freedom cannot be overstated. Every year, on Accession to Pakistan Day, Kashmiris remember the immense cost of their struggle. Over 450,000 Kashmiris have laid down their lives, yet their resolve to join Pakistan remains as strong as ever. These sacrifices transcend numbers; each life lost represents a piece of Kashmir’s soul, a collective commitment to the dream of freedom.
The bloodshed endured by Kashmiris has never been in vain. Despite the brutalities inflicted upon them, their determination to secure a future with Pakistan continues to grow stronger. The enduring spirit of resistance fuels the ongoing struggle, making the dream of a free and independent IIOJK ever more attainable.

IIOJK’s Struggle: An Unbroken Resolve

The struggle for IIOJK’s accession to Pakistan remains unbroken, despite relentless violence and oppression by Indian forces. Every act of brutality by India only serves to strengthen the resolve of the Kashmiri people, bringing them closer to the dream of a free IIOJK. India’s revocation of Article 370 in 2019 and other illegal actions have exposed India’s true intentions: to occupy, repress, and erase IIOJK’s identity. These actions have not deterred Kashmiris; instead, they have reaffirmed their determination to join Pakistan and reinforced the need for the Two-Nation Theory, which advocates for a unified Pakistan.
India’s efforts to silence Kashmir’s voice have failed, and with each attempt, the voices of Kashmiris grow louder. Kashmir’s struggle is not just political; it is a moral and spiritual fight for freedom and self-determination. The more India tries to erase Kashmir’s identity, the clearer it becomes that IIOJK’s future is tied to Pakistan.

IIOJK’s Significance to Pakistan’s Identity

IIOJK is not merely a political issue for Pakistan; it is a symbol of Pakistan’s identity and sovereignty. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah famously referred to Kashmir as Pakistan’s “jugular vein,” underscoring its central importance to Pakistan’s territorial integrity. Without Kashmir, Pakistan’s identity remains incomplete. The deep connection between Pakistan and IIOJK is not just symbolic; it is a core element of Pakistan’s very existence.

The struggle for IIOJK is also a fight for the soul of Pakistan. The people of Pakistan cannot afford to ignore the plight of Kashmiris, as their own identity is intertwined with Kashmir’s freedom. The moral duty to support Kashmir’s fight for independence is not just a political obligation; it is a reflection of Pakistan’s core values.

Pakistan’s Steadfast Support for IIOJK

Pakistan has consistently and unapologetically supported IIOJK’s right to self-determination, advocating for justice on the global stage. This support is not about political maneuvering; it is a moral imperative. Every Kashmiri sacrifice is not just a loss for Kashmir; it is a loss for Pakistan as well. The people of Pakistan stand firmly alongside Kashmiris in their heroic struggle for freedom, understanding that their fight is inextricably linked to Pakistan’s sovereignty.
Despite the international community’s indifference and India’s attempts to conceal its atrocities, Pakistan has never faltered in its support for IIOJK. The situation in Kashmir remains one of the most critical issues of international justice, and Pakistan will continue to advocate for Kashmiris until their freedom is achieved.

IIOJK’s Freedom: A Call to Action

IIOJK’s future cannot be compromised. The international community must recognize the suffering and injustice endured by Kashmiris and support their right to self-determination. Kashmir’s struggle is not just regional; it is a universal struggle for justice, freedom, and human rights. The world must act before oppression continues.
Kashmir’s freedom is not just a call from Kashmir; it is a call for justice for Pakistan and for all who believe in freedom and self-determination. The time for action is now. IIOJK’s future is not just Kashmir’s issue—it is a global one. The call for IIOJK’s liberation is one that must be heard by the international community, and Pakistan must continue to stand at the forefront of this fight for justice.

IIOJK and Pakistan: One Dream, One Destiny

The people of IIOJK have made their choice, and their determination remains unshaken. The dream of a free, independent, and united IIOJK alongside Pakistan will never be extinguished. Kashmiris believe they are one with Pakistan, and they will never stop fighting until they are united with their rightful homeland. This is not just a political struggle; it is a moral imperative that transcends borders, cultures, and identities.
IIOJK’s freedom is the freedom of Pakistan. This struggle is not merely for Kashmir’s political status; it is for the soul of Pakistan. The people of Kashmir and Pakistan share a common destiny, and no force can separate them. Together, they will overcome the challenges ahead, fulfilling the dream of a united and free Kashmir under the flag of Pakistan.
Accession to Pakistan Day is not just a commemoration of a historic event; it is a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice, freedom, and self-determination. Kashmir’s future is tied to Pakistan, and the dream of a free, independent IIOJK will one day become a reality. Until that day comes, the people of Pakistan and Kashmir will continue to stand united in their shared destiny, never wavering in their commitment to each other.
