Jamaat-e-Islami Chief Sirajul Haq has urged the government to immediately convene an international conference in Muzaffarabad (Azad Kashmir) and give a roadmap for liberation of Kashmir. Addressing "Kashmir March," here on Saturday, he said that Muslim rulers and freedom-loving leaders all over the world should be invited at the Kashmir conference. The march was attended by a large number of people from all walks of life.
Senator Sirajul Haq suggested that Muslim leaders must devise effective measures at the proposed conference to stop the bloodletting of the Kashmiris and India's plans to change the demography of Kashmir by settling Hindus there. "Kashmir cannot be liberated by observing one-minute silence and nor through foreign minister's address at the United Nations," he said.
Siraj said that India has been killing innocent Kashmiris and disgracing their womenfolk. India had imposed three wars on Pakistan and also played a leading role in the separation of East Pakistan.
However, he lamented, the Pakistani rulers have been silent. He emphasised this is the time for Islamabad to break silence. He said if Syed Ali Gilani, Yasin Malik, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Aasia Andrabi are not ready to yield to Indian oppression, Pakistani rulers should not be scared of it.
"Pakistani rulers have been imploring for dialogue with India and trade of onions and potatoes with Modi's India whose hands are drenched with Kashmiris' blood," he said, vowing that the nation would never accept such talks with India.
The JI chief said the blood being shed in Kashmir is of the Pakistani nation and belong to the entire Muslim Ummah. He said India could not suppress the Kashmiris' liberation movement as the elderly women and children all joined the liberation struggle. He asserted Kashmiri women are waiting for a Muhammad bin Qasim, Mehmud Ghaznavi and Salahuddin Ayubi. He said the Kashmir liberation movement is an ideological movement. He said the love for the Kashmiris make the nation stands by them.
He said Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan spread over an area of more than 35,000 square kilometres and these areas are free it is only because of the sacrifices of their people. The greenery in Pakistan is due to the rivers flowing from Kashmir.
"The United Nations is biased towards Muslims. The UN had quickly decided the issues of East Timor and Southern Sudan as these were areas of non-Muslims. However, it remains silent on the issues of Kashmir, Palestine and Myanmar where Muslims are being killed," he lamented. JI deputy chief Mian Muhammad Aslam, in his address, stressed that India should be removed as the head of the UN Human Rights Council because of its persistent human rights violations in Kashmir.
The JI KP chapter chief Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan called for Indian Prime Minister Modi's trial for war crimes because of Indian troops' repression in the occupied Kashmir. The JI AJK chapter's chief Dr Khalid Mehmud and Dr Tariq Saleem also spoke at the march. JI secretary general Liaquat Baloch and JI information secretary Qaisar Sharif were also present on the occasion.

The speakers there termed the 27th October as the darkest day in the history of Jammu and Kashmir.
They said Kashmiri people never accepted illegal occupation of their homeland by India and they have been rendering unparalleled sacrifices to secure freedom from the Indian yoke. They said India is resorting to the worst sort of state terrorism in occupied Kashmir to suppress the Kashmiris' just struggle.
The speakers said the UN and the world community had acknowledged Kashmir as a disputed territory and promised to give the Kashmiris their inalienable right to self-determination but despite passage of 71 years, the commitment has not been fulfilled.
