Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq has warned the government against taking any 'U-Turn' on the Occupied Kashmir, saying any compromise on the principle stand of Pakistan on the disputed area will bring serious damage to the country. He said this while addressing a sitting held at Mansoora on Saturday in memory of JI founder and leading Islamic scholar of 20th century Syed Abul Ala Maududi.
Senior journalists Altaf Hassan Qureshi, Mujeebur Rahman Shami, Dr Hussain Ahmad Paracha, JI leaders Mian Aslam, Hafiz Idrees, Hafiz Sajid Anwar and Anwar Gondal also addressed the session and paid glowing tribute to the religious and nationalistic services of Maududi. "If then government had taken serious Syed Maududi's advice on Kashmir soon after the creation of Pakistan, the region would have been the part of Pakistan," said Siraj.
He added that the late JI founder had requested the Pakistani government to immediately enter the army in Kashmir when Gurdaspur being a Muslim majority district was made the part of India under British-Congress conspiracy. Siraj said the people of Pakistan had been listening to the fiery speeches of the rulers on Kashmir for seven decades and knew that none of them was able to make courageous move to liberate the millions of Kashmiri from Indian yoke.
Now, he added, when Modi government had crossed all limits and bent upon changing the demography of the disputed region, the people of Pakistan and Kashmir were at the brink of losing their patience and ready to go to any extent in support of their brethren.
So, said the JI leader, it was duty of the world not to further test the patience of millions of Pakistanis and Kashmiris and force New Delhi to immediately withdraw controversial amendments, call back its occupied forces and allow the UN mission to conduct a referendum in the region. He said people of Pakistan would never accept any solution to the dispute other than the Kashmiris was allowed to exercise their right to self determination.
