A seminary and walk to mark Kashmir Exploitation Day and attended by a large number of students and faculty members was held at Khyber Medical University (KMU) Peshawar on Monday. Skits and renditions of the national songs, reflecting solidarity with the Kashmiri cause were featured during the event. Addressing the participants, Chief Proctor of the university Dr. Haji Bahadur emphasized the ongoing struggle of the Kashmiri people, who have been fighting for their freedom for the past 76 years. He said that the purpose of celebrating Kashmir Exploitation Day was to amplify the voice of Kashmiris across the world through the media and awaken the conscience of the global community. Haji Bahadur reiterated Pakistan’s unwavering support for Kashmiris, emphasizing that Pakistan will never abandon them in their struggle for self-determination.

Appreciating the students of KMU for their dedication, he expressed hope that they will continue to support their Kashmiri brothers and sisters. “There are two paths: one chosen by the Kashmiri people to confront the oppressive Indian forces, resulting in over one lakh Kashmiris sacrificing their lives and thousands imprisoned; and another path, which involves Pakistan’s continuous efforts to advocate for Kashmir on every international forum,” he said. Meanwhile, Vice Chancellor KMU Prof. Dr. Zia ul Haq highlighted that resolving the Kashmir issue remains an incomplete agenda for Pakistan, and the country will persist in supporting Kashmiris until they achieve their right to self-determination. The event concluded with a walk, reinforcing the commitment to raising awareness about the exploitation of Kashmiris and showing solidarity with their cause.
