Kashmir Solidarity Multi-parties Conference: JI chief warns against India's evil designs

Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Senator Sirajul Haq has warned the rulers against Indian designs, saying Islamabad could be the next target of the Modi government if Indian forces are not responded timely in Occupied Srinagar. According to media cell of JI at Mansoora at Lahore, he was addressing "Kashmir Solidarity Multi-parties Conference" on Thursday at Islamabad.

He said Modi government was bent upon turning Pakistan into desert. The ultimate agenda of Hidutva gangs led Indian government was "Akhand Bharat" which could be confronted only if the rulers in Islamabad would act courageously against enemy's designs, he said. The conference held under the banner of Milli Yakjehti Council, a conglomerate of different religious and political parties, vowed to extend all support for the Kashmir cause.

MYC President Sahibzada Abu-ul-Khair Zubair earlier thanked the participants and said the people of Pakistan were standing shoulder to shoulder with their Kashmir brethren in their quest for freedom from Indian yoke. Speakers included Pakistan Awami Tehreek leader Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Islami Tehreek Secretary General Arif Hussain Wahdi, Tanzeem-e-Islami head Hafiz Akif Saeed, Naujwanan-e-Pakistan head Abdullah Hameed Gul, Jamiat Ittehadul Ulema Pakistan president Maulana Abdul Malik, JI Naib Emir Liaqat Baloch and others.

Siraj said it seemed the rulers were waiting for complete ethnic cleansing of the besieged people of Kashmir. The government, he said, did nothing practical to challenge the Indian occupied forces since the day New Delhi abrogated the special status of the region.

It was expected that the government would try to create a national consensus and unite the political leadership for the cause but it seemed the rulers were trying to divide the nation, he said.

Siraj said the rulers who had already destroyed the economy seemed reluctant to create unity among people on Kashmir issue.

He said India had violated all international and mutual agreement by stripping off the autonomy of the held region. Now, he added, Islamabad must revoke all mutual agreement with New Delhi as a protest against Indian move on Kashmir.

He said Kashmir was a matter of life and death for Pakistan and any conspiracy to put the issue in cold storage would be confronted with full force.

The MYC council demanded the government to take decisive measures in support of the people of IHK. The government was asked to ensure equal rights to the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan until the liberation of

IHK and its accession to Pakistan. The meeting called for expediting diplomatic efforts to seek the support of international community particularly the Muslim world on Kashmir.
