Lahore : Federal Minister for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Senator Pervaiz Rashid said on Sunday that no one could deprive the Kashmiris of their right to self-determination which
they had under all the world laws and ethics.
The Kashmir issue, he said, should be highlighted at every forum such as universities, press clubs, business chambers, trade unions and parliament. This would not only make the world know about the Indian atrocities in Held Kashmir but also help devise a strategy to remove confusion about the issue here in Pakistan, besides expressing solidarity with the Kashmiris.
He was addressing a seminar on ‘Current Situation in Occupied Kashmir and Role of Media’ organized by Lahore Press Club (LPG) here. Renowned journalists Imtiaz Alam, Arif Nizami, Salman Ghani, Sajjad Mir also spoke on the occasion.
The minister said slogans regarding Islam and Kashmiris’ freedom had been raised in Pakistan by various parities and quarters since long only to gain political mileage. Time and again, he added, such slogans were used to topple governments and grab power in Islamabad.
He said the media could play an effective role to stop such practices. Today, Pakistan’s media was being read and viewed across the world with the advent of modern technologies. Therefore, the principled stand on the Kashmir issue, as recognized by international laws, politics and ethics, must be highlighted to the international community by the Pakistani media, he added.
The Kashmir issue, he stressed, must be resolved in an amicable manner and Kashmiris must be given their due right to decide about their fate. The people of Kashmir had the prerogative to adopt any
approach or strategy to achieve the goal of freedom and no one could deprive them of their just right, he added. The region with over one billion population, he said, would have to be purged of terrorism and wars. This was only way to give the new generation a better Pakistan, he added.
