The Friends of Economic and Business Reforms (FEBR) condemning illegal annexation of Occupied Kashmir by India, on Saturday expressed full solidarity and support to the heroic and brave struggle of the Kashmiris by the business community, resisting repression and military might with their spirit and determination.

Appreciating China’s support on Kashmir issue, FEBR President Kashif Anwar in a statement said that Pakistan deeply values China’s defence cooperation and support on issues of its national security. He urged the government and all stakeholders to formulate a coherent national strategy and national stamina to sustain that strategy. Pakistan and China continued to closely consult and coordinate for the promotion of peace and stability in the region and maintenance of strategic balance, he said.

He highlighted India’s illegal and unilateral actions of August 5, the continuing indefensible lockdown of millions of Kashmiris in the occupied valley for last almost four weeks, the dire human rights and the humanitarian situation there, and the threat to peace and security posed by India’s actions.

He underlined that India can stage a false flag operation to divert the world’s attention from its crimes. He reiterated that the curfew in Indian held Kashmir must be lifted immediately and the international human rights organizations be allowed to visit the valley to have an objective assessment of the humanitarian tragedy unfolding there. He also underscored that the brutal suppression of human rights in Kashmir have the potential to spark a wave of extremism and India’s reckless actions can destabilize the region immeasurably.
