Kashmir key to South Asian peace, says Qazi

LAHORE, OCT 25: Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Qazi Hussain Ahmad has said that peace in south Asia will always remain a dream unless Kashmiris were given the right to self determination guaranteed by UN resolutions. Qazi sahib asked India to shun double standards with Muslim minority and fulfill all promises made to Kashmiris.

He was addressing a special briefing session at the JI congregation Saturday held for the leaders of Muslim movements and visiting delegates from Muslim countries to apprise them about the Kashmir issue. The briefing session was also addressed by ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Azad Kashmir Abdul Rasheed Turabi, head of the Shoora of Sudan's ruling party Sheikh Abdul Raheem Ali and Director JI Foreign Affairs, Abdul Ghaffar Aziz.

Those who attended the briefing session included former Imam of Al-Aqsa mosque Sheikh Mohammad Siam, JI Lebanon secretary general Sheikh Faisal Al-Maulavi, Akhwanul Muslimoon Jordan president Dr Hammam Saeed, Muslim movement Tunis president Sheikh Rashed Al Ghannoshi, president Party of Islam Malaysia, Abdul Hadi Awang, chief minister province of Perak, Malaysia, Mohammad Nezar bin Jamaluddin, JI Bangladesh ameer Maulana Abul Kalam Mohammad Yousuf, and naib ameer of JI Pakistan Prof Khurshid Ahmad, Liaqat Baloch, Aslam Salimi, Dy Secretary general Dr Farid Paracha and others.

Qazi Hussain Ahmad expressed concerns that India is attempting to impose Hindu and secular culture upon Muslims and also patronizing Hindu fanatics' movements to force Muslim minority give up Islamic culture and adopt Hindu customs. He said though Pakistani Muslims are providing moral backing to Indian Muslims but it is the foremost duty of the UN to protect Indian Muslims from the Indian persecution and for achieving that objective allowing Kashmiri Muslims the right to self determination is a prerequisite. Qazi urged upon Muslim Ummah to continue moral, diplomatic and political support to Kashmiris.

Qazi Hussain Ahmad said India has been displaying extreme stubbornness in allowing Kashmiri Muslims the right to self determination and has kept calling occupied Kashmir its integral part despite that UN resolutions called for a solution to the disputed Kashmir territory. He said Delhi has crossed all limits of state terrorism and repression against Kashmiris to crush their freedom movement through military force. Qazi sahib praised the role played by veteran Kashmiri leader Syed Ali Gilani despite suffering ailments and detentions with Indian army.

Qazi Hussain Ahmad stressed that it is the responsibility of Muslim countries to treat Kashmir as the issue of Muslim Ummah the same way Palestinian issue is being treated and considered as the core issue of Muslim world.

Sudanese leader Sheikh Abdul Raheem said Kashmir is sure an issue of Muslim Ummah and Ummah should feel the pain if Muslims were victimized anywhere in the world. He said entire Ummah supports the Kashmiris in their freedom struggle against India and demand Kashmiris be allowed right to self determination and atrocities against them be stopped. He praised JI for raising voice for oppressed Palestinians and Kashmiris at every forum.

Abdul Rasheed Turabi said Kashmiri Muslims have been waging a struggle for 62 years to regain their freedom from Indian occupation in which over one hundred thousand people sacrificed their lives while two hundred thousand were wounded while countless people have been missing and serving in Indian army detention centers and interrogation centers. He said over seven hundred thousand Indian army is deployed to crush the indigenous freedom struggle but remain failed for the last six decades in dousing the spirits of Kashmiri Muslims. He said Indian army shot dead thousands of demonstrators and others in staged encounters but still such sacrifices provided renewed spirit to Kashmiris. He said Kashmiri leader Sheikh Abdul Aziz was martyred by Indian army while several attempts were made on the lives of Syed Ali Gilani and others.

He said unarmed Kashmiris have been doing whatever they can but now it is the responsibility of the Muslim Ummah to come forward and help them as per the requirements of this Islamic cause. He expressed gratitude for JI Pakistan and Pakistani nation for extending unprecedented support for Kashmir cause. He stressed that Kashmiris are actually working for completion of Pakistan's cause and their struggle will continue under all circumstances. - Jamaat Islami Pakistan
