Amir Jamat-e-Islami Azad Kahmir, Abdul Rasheed Turrabi, has urged political parties to take concrete steps for resolving the longstanding Kashmir issue by incorporating it into their elections manifesto.
He said this while addressing a news conference at Idara-e-Noor Haq on Sunday. JI Karachi General Secretary Naseem Farooqui and others were also present. Turrabi said giving Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India was tantamount to betray with the blood of thousands of Kashmiris, who sacrificed their lives for the cause.
He further added bilateral dialogue between Pakistan and India would not prove fruitful until the India take serious steps to resolve Kashmir issue. "Kashmiri people are determined to continue their struggle for their right of self-determination and they would not accept any solution within constitutional framework of India," he added.
Turrabi said that the founder of All Parties Hurriyat Conference has been under house arrest for the last one year and even he was not allowed to offer Friday, Eid prayers and go for pilgrimage, adding Amnesty International, Asia Watch and human rights organisations of India have taken notice of the barbarism of Indian forces.
He further said the Indian scholars, Arwin Dehti Roy, Gotham Nolakha and others have also raised their voice against the state terrorism of Indian forces in Kashmir. "On one hand, the atrocities of India are continued in Kashmir while on the other hand it is being built embankments on rivers and lakes," adding 56 dams have been built by India.
Referring to the in-camera briefing of Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik to the parliamentarians, Turrabi said Interior Minister had informed the parliament that the Indian intelligence agency RAW was behind the deteriorated law and order situation in Balochistan and FATA.
