Islamabad: The sacrifices of the Kashmiri people will "bear fruit and India cannot stop the rising dawn of freedom in Kashmir", Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Saturday.
Gilani made the remarks while speaking at a dinner he hosted for Kashmiri leaders at the Prime Minister's House on the occasion of Kashmir Solidarity Day.
"India has been striving to suppress the voice of Kashmiris, who are fighting for their just right to self-determination for over half a century, through force and subjugation," he claimed.
The day is not far when Kashmiris will determine their future, he told the gathering that included leaders from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and federal ministers.
Gilani regretted that at the time of the division of Indian subcontinent, the "Kashmiris' accession to Pakistan was disallowed through a conspiracy".
He contended that the Indian leadership was ignoring UN resolutions under which the Kashmiris were promised a plebiscite to choose their future.
He reiterated Pakistan's moral, diplomatic and political support to the Kashmiris.
