The state president said that it is the responsibility of the international community to ensure peace and security and prevent fascism the region. Therefore, if the international community does not stop India from oppression, the Kashmiri youth will have no option but to take up the gun to fight Indian repression and fascism.
Sardar Masood Khan said that in view of what India is at present doing, jihad has become obligatory for all the Muslims particularly the Kashmiri people. He maintained that India has assaulted the Kashmiri people and the state of Pakistan, and the Indian rulers are publicly threatening to capture Azad Kashmir and disintegrate Pakistan.

The AJK president said that the Kashmiri people through their unprecedented struggle for their freedom as well as the realization of their right to self-determination, have proved that they are a brave and the valiant nation, and if the youth of occupied Kashmir, Azad Kashmir and Pakistan decided to jointly fight the freedom war, it would become impossible for India to resist.
“The youth of Azad Kashmir and the Pakistani people must keep in mind that if they could not defend their territory, they would not be able to play any role for the liberation of occupied Kashmir,” he added.
He regretted that big powers were silent over the worst brutalities in occupied Kashmir, and they are not ready to support the oppressed.”The goons of BJP and RSS do not care about any law and morality, and they can take any action against Pakistan and Azad Kashmir,” he cautioned.
Addressing the conference, Member of Azad Kashmir Legislative Assembly and Chairman Public Accounts Committee Abdur Rashid Turabi said that the state president Sardar Masood Khan was playing an unprecedented role on the diplomatic front to muster support for the Kashmiri people, and at the same time, he is also playing an active role in framing strategy for the policy making institutions. “It is time that Azad Kashmir becomes the base camp of liberation movement in the real sense, and its youth prepare themselves for an armed struggle.
