The seminar was hosted by Zamarud Khan, head of Pakistan Sweet Homes, while Mahmood Ahmed Saghar, APHC-AJK Convener, presided over it.

Whether it is the dispute of Palestine or Kashmir, all these issues are faced by Muslims. The people of Palestine say that you are lucky to have Pakistan in your neighborhood,” he said.
Fahim Kayani maintained, as the policy of Pakistan exists, a vibrant policy for the freedom of Kashmir needs to be formulated. “Kashmiris are struggling for the completion of Pakistan. The rivers of Kashmir are flowing to Pakistan. India can stop the water at any time and make Pakistan barren,” he said.
