Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday reiterated support to the separatist movement in Kashmir through a letter addressed to the chief of a radical Kashmiri women's separatist group.

In the letter addressed to Asiya Andrabi, chief of women's separatist group 'Dukhtaran-e-Milat' (Daughters of Faith), Sharif said "Pakistan has always in the past lent humanitarian, moral and diplomatic support to the people's movement for self-determination in Kashmir.

"We will continue our support to your just and humanitarian cause with more vigour in the future.

"Your steadfast, uncompromising struggle for self-determination has given soul and spirit to the movement.

"That day is not far when the shackles of bondage will break and the undeniable right of self-determination is given to Kashmiri people," the Pakistan prime minister added.
