Chairman Kashmir Committee Hamid Nasir Chattha has said that solution of Indian occupied Kashmir dispute in accordance with the wishes of Kashmiri people is the only guarantee for normalisation of Indian-Pakistan relations. The struggle of Kashmiri people will continue until their internationally acknowledged demand of self determination is accepted, Chattha told a private television channel. He denied the Indian allegations of cross-border terrorism and said the struggle of Kashmiris is indigenous.
It is irrational to think that the so-called infiltrators from across the border could have operated as India has deployed a huge number of armed forces in occupied Kashmir, he said.
Some factions of Kashmiri people have lifted arms in compulsion due to suppressive behaviour of Indian agencies in the region he said, adding otherwise the Kashmiris have been trying politically for their just cause.
There is no element of terrorism in the struggle of Kashmiri people rather they are facing worst kind of state terrorism, he said.
He said the armed factions of Kashmiris have never hit a non-military target.
Rather the Indian agencies have created organised gangs who target the civilians to malign the struggle of Kashmiri people at domestic and international front, he added.
There is wide difference between freedom struggle and terrorism which the international community, particularly the western nations, should realise, he said.
To a question he said, the occupied Kashmir Committee is working independently under parliamentary mandate and the government do not interfere in it functioning.
