|| Online Desk: Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and the world over will observe the Accession to Pakistan Day, tomorrow (Sunday), with a renewed pledge to continue the struggle for liberation from Indian occupation and the realization of the July 19, 1947 resolution for Jammu and Kashmir’s accession to Pakistan.According to Kashmir Media Service, on July 19, 1947, the genuine representatives of the Kashmiris unanimously adopted the historic Accession to Pakistan resolution during a meeting of the All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference at the residence of Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim Khan in the Aabi Guzar area of Srinagar.The resolution called for the accession of the State of Jammu and Kashmir to Pakistan in view of its religious, geographical, cultural and economic proximity to Pakistan and the aspirations of the overwhelming majority of its Muslim population.The resolution was adopted nearly a month before the emergence of Pakistan and India as two independent states on August 14 and 15, 1947, under the British Partition Plan. Under that arrangement, the princely states were free to accede to either of the two newly created dominions.The decision of July 19, 1947, reflected the political will of the people of Jammu and Kashmir to align their future with Pakistan. The resolution was adopted to safeguard the political, religious, social, cultural and economic rights of the Kashmiri people, as their representatives were well aware that Muslims would face discrimination and marginalization under Hindus, given their deep-seated animosity for Muslims. Meanwhile, Hurriyat organizations, in their messages issued on the occasion and circulated on social media and across different parts of the occupied territory, said July 19 holds a unique place and special significance in the history of Jammu and Kashmir as the day the Kashmiri people chose to associate their future with Pakistan. They urged the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the international community to protect the Kashmiri people from Indian state repression and play an effective role in resolving the Kashmir dispute in its historical perspective and in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions.
