Furthermore, discussions were held regarding the allocation of honorary seats for Muslim leaders who played crucial roles during the Pakistan Movement. Both leaders affirmed that the hearts of non-Muslim Kashmiris living across the LoC beat for Pakistan, underscoring the strong emotional bond between them and Pakistan.

Prime Minister Khan and President Chaudhry expressed deep concern over the mistreatment of Dalits in India, emphasizing Pakistan’s commitment to providing equal opportunities and protection to people of all religions, as envisioned by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

The leaders stressed the importance of giving full representation to political leaders of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and the non-Muslim community in the Legislative Assembly, ensuring their privileges and rights are safeguarded through legislative measures.

They reiterated the principle that Kashmiris on both sides of the LoC have the right to live according to their own religions and affirmed their dedication to strengthening the joint Pakistan Movement. The leaders pledged to continue their active role in this struggle until their goals are achieved.

This meeting reflects a united commitment to advocating for the rights and representation of Kashmiris, both Muslim and non-Muslim, in the legislative framework of Azad Jammu Kashmir.
