Jamaat-e-Islami chief Sirajul Haq has announced countrywide rallies to express solidarity with the people of Indian occupied Kashmir, urging the government to take every possible step to stop New Delhi fulfill its nefarious design regarding the status of the held region. He was addressing a press conference at Mansora along with the central leadership of the JI, following Indian announcement to revoke the special autonomy to the occupied region through a rushed presidential decree.
Revocation of Article 370 by India was a blatant violation of Simla Agreement and United Nations Resolutions on Kashmir, said Siraj, demanding the government immediately approach the UN Security Council, OIC and international community to build pressure on India to shun its decision.
"India has announced war by revoking the article 370 and now Pakistan should go to every extent to reverse the decision.
"People of Kashmir need Pakistan's support now and we should convey them a clear message that nation is standing with them united and un-shattered." Islamabad, suggested Siraj, should link its cooperation with the US on Afghanistan to the solution of Kashmir issue. It was high time, said the JI leader, that Islamabad demand Washington to "do more" to pursue India to immediately reverse its decision regarding Article 370 which throw the entire region into a war-like situation.
Siraj, however, said US President Donald Trump offer for mediation on Kashmir must be accepted if it was according to the UN resolution as no other solution to the issue was acceptable to the nation and people of Kashmir.
JI chief welcomed the government decision to call joint session of the parliament. He said all political parties should stand united at this moment and extend a strong message to India and entire world that Pakistan will never compromise on its principle stand on Kashmir.
