Pakistan is incomplete without Kashmir :Siraj ul Haq

Lahore: The Kashmir Solidarity day was observed all over the world, including Pakistan, with great enthusiasm and firm resolve to continue the political and moral support for the Kashmiris till  they won their freedom.

Rallies expressing complete solidarity with the Kashmiris were staged all over the country under the aegis of the Jamaat e Islami, in which lakhs of people participated. Public meetings and seminars were also held in major cities at which the speakers highlighted the importance of Kashmir for the country.

Ameer, JIP, Sirajul Haq, stood up with the Kashmir leadership at the Kohala bridge linking Kashmir with Pakistan to complete the chain of hands formed by the people of Pakistan and Kashmir. He led the main Kashmir rally in Muzaffarabad and addressed the public meeting there. The Kashmir rally in Islamabad was led by JI deputy chief Mian Muhammad Aslam. JI Secretary General Liaqat Baloch led the rally at Karachi. The Quetta rally was led by JI deputy chief Asadulah Bhutto while JI deputy chief Hafiz Muhammad Idrees led the rally at Gujranwala. The rally in the Punjab capital was led by the JI Punjab chief Dr Syed Waseem Akhtar.

Sirajul Haq told the huge public meeting at Muzaffarabad that Pakistan was incomplete without Kashmir and it could not give up the demand for the liberation of Kashmir at any cost. He said that friendship with India was impossible without the solution of the Kashmir issue.

He said that the US and Britain were responsible for the Kashmir problem and they should come forward for the implementation of the UN resolutions on Kashmir promising the right of self determination to the Kashmiris.

He said the Quaid e  Azam had declared Kashmir as the jugular line of Pakistan, and added that the very existence of this country was insecure without Kashmir.

Sirajul Haq made it clear to Indian rulers that they could not defeat the Kashmiris’ spirit for liberation and their freedom struggle would continue till Kashmir was free.

He said the US President Obama, had done great injustice by not referring to the Kashmir issue during his India visit. He said if referendum could be held in Scotland, East Taimur and South Sudan, why referendum could not be held in Kashmir, and added that the world community should fulfill its commitment made with the Kashmiri people.

The JI chief said that the liberation of Kashmir should be the precondition for the UN Security Council membership of India. He said that India’s attitude on Kashmir had always been aggressive while the Pakistani rulers had not done their duty in this regard.

Addressing the rally, JI Azad Kashmir chief, Abdur Rashid Turabi, saluted the Kashmiri people for their resolute struggle for liberation.  He said that the Kashmiris were fighting the war of the completion of Pakistan and its solidarity. He said if the Pakistani rulers had been enthusiastic like their people on the Kashmir issue, Kashmir would have gained independence long ago. He asked how long the rulers in Islamabad would continue their policy of appeasement with New Delhi ignoring the bloodshed of Kashmiris at the hands of Indian occupation forces.

Asif Luqman Qazi, son of the former JI, Ameer, Qazi Hussain Ahmed, also addressed the rally.
