Message of Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Jammu Massacre(1947), 6th November 2025

In the history of Jammu and Kashmir, 6 November, 1947 is marked as the darkest day and is etched in the minds of Kashmiri people as a fresh wound even after decades. Each year, Kashmiris across the world commemorate it in condemnation as the "first massive genocide" of the Kashmiris by brutal Indian armed forces.
In November 1947, Indian forces and extremists brutally tortured and massacred thousands (237,000) of Kashmiris in genocidal attempt to change the demographic and religious majority of Kashmiri population. Such illegal and unilateral attempt by Indian forces to artificially alter the demographic majority of Muslims in Kashmir continues till date. The illegal actions of 5 August, 2019 are extension of the same pattern.
Pakistan pays homage to the thousands of Kashmiri martyrs especially of November 1947 who sacrificed their lives in this long struggle for freedom. In utter denial of United Nations Security Council resolutions and in violation of International Law, India has held illegal usurpation and illegitimate occupation of Kashmir. Pakistan and all other proponents of fundamental human rights voice their censure in strongest terms. India is guilty of protracted violation of fundamental human rights, right to self-determination and International Law.
This day incarnates the exceptional courage and unwavering determination of the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK) to secure their inalienable right to freedom. This day also testifies that generations of Kashmiris valiantly challenged Indian forces and never succumbed to Indian brutalities and atrocities. Kashmiris have never shirked away from rendering sacrifices for their just cause.
Today, Government of Pakistan and people of Pakistan pay heartfelt tribute to the valued sacrifices of Kashmiri brothers and sisters. Pakistan extends unequivocal support to the oppressed people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK). And Pakistan also reiterates its commitment at global diplomatic front that Pakistan will continue to ardently raise the issue of Kashmir and will continue to extend its political, diplomatic, and moral support to people of Kashmir.
International Community must emphatically voice their concerns about the continued violation of human rights and International Law by India in Indian illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK). At every international diplomatic forum, Pakistan has this principled position that Kashmir dispute must be resolved in line with UNSC resolutions and as per just aspirations of Kashmiris.
