Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif pledged unwavering support for Kashmiri people on Kashmir Solidarity Day. Tensions with India were heightened by recent conflicts, and claims of increased terrorism acts. Pakistan's leadership remains committed to Kashmir's inclusion, linking it to their foreign policy and drawing parallels with Palestine.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday reiterated Pakistan's commitment to the Kashmiri people, highlighting solidarity rallies nationwide on Kashmir Solidarity Day. He stressed honoring Kashmiris' wishes through UNSC resolutions.
