While condemning Indian atrocities against the people of Indian Occupied Kashmir, Emir Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that only solution to this core issue is implementation on the United Nations resolutions, besides holding a dialogue among all the stakeholders.
Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, he said that it was the dictator Pervez Musharraf who after 9/11 on American dictation put Kashmir issue at the backburner and compromised in this regard. He said that since 2008 when he took the charge as the chairman Kashmir Committee, not only he but also the prime ministers, presidents and foreign ministers of Pakistan have highlighted the issue in all meetings at the United Nations and other forums.
He said that today entire Pakistani nation is standing behind the Kashmiris' struggle for their basic right to self-determination and expresses solidarity with the Kashmiri people. He said that General Pervez Musharraf (retd) stated in 2002 that time had arrived to sideline the UN resolutions on Kashmir but now the elected government has raised the voice for the oppressed Kashmiri people at all the global forums. He said that as a result of dictator's policies, entire Pakistan was handed over to the US to be used in so-called war on terror.
He claimed that it is the success of the Kashmir committee that now the issue is back on international level, adding that the Indian atrocities against Kashmiri people will not last for long as India will be forced to settle the issue as per the UN resolutions and aspirations of Kashmiri people.
Fazl said that till today "we have failed to determine either solution to the Kashmir issue is political or military. We have kept on urging Indian politicians and the governments to sit on the table to resolve the longstanding issue which poses serious threats to the regional peace." He said that only Kashmir committee or the chairman can't do anything in resolving the issue but the country should have a viable and clear Kashmir policy, which unfortunately is missing.
