Government initiated dialogue
with India on the Kashmir issue. One opinion was that dialogue could solve the Kashmir
problem. Others say the only solution is ‘Jehad’. What is Jama’at’s
opinion?
The Kashmir issue is deeply related
to our national solidarity. More then 90 percent of the valley’s people are our
Muslim brethren and they are being tortured by Indians who have illegally occopied the
Kashmir. To continue their occupation they are involved in all kinds of crimes against the
Kashmiri Muslims. It is not the land, but the people of Kashmir who are more dear to us.
This is the real issues, which cannot be ignored.
To talk of trade and ‘other
issues’ is not in our interest, but suits only to India. Relaxing visa restrictions
would mostly benefit India. When people will mix up more often the Indian will propogate :
"We have one culture and common customs, why then have two separate states?" We,
the Pakistanis, should not, therefore, mix up the Kashmir problem with other issues.
The day the Kashmiris have started armed insurgency,
signs have emerged that the problem will now be settled Inshaallah. India has failed to
subdue the movement. No government or power can nullify the years long sacrifices of the
Kashmiri people. Algiers got independence from France and Vietnam from the USA after
similar bloody struggles. Afghanistan offered sacrifices and assured not only its own
independence but broke the strong Soviet hold from the Central Asia and the Eastern
Europe. Today the era of colonial imperialism is over. India’s occupation of Kashmir
is imperialist hold, which cannot stay for longer.
The American and Zionist conspiracy is at work to
undo what life and strength the Kashmir issue has attained through ‘Jehad’.
Unfortunately there are elements even in our own government who were extending a helping
hand to India to pull it out of the trouble.
In principal we are not against dilogue with any
country but in case of India and Pakistan the core issue is that of Kasshmir. Unless this
is not resolved We should not indulge ourselves on perpheral issues.
Forming some working group to continue to dialogue
is a wrong policy If, for instance, there comes a stalemate over Kashmir, but a
breakthrough in other matters, it will be a great loss to the Kashmir movement. Remember,
what the Indian Foreign Secretary Salman Haider said after reaching Delhi: "Well,
India has accepted (Indian occupied) Kashmir as disputed territory, but the same way the
Pakistani Kashmir and the Northern Areas are also declared "disputed". The
Indian thinking is that they will not discuss Occupied Kashmir as a disputed territory,
but only in the context of Pakistani support to "terrorism" there. India intends
to occupy the whole of Kashmir, including Azad Kashmir and the Northern Areas. Here our
Prime Minister was deceiving the nation when he said: that Kashmir was brought on the
agenda for the first time in 50 years, because the issue has been on agenda during the
Simla accord and many other occasions earlier. The bi-lateral talk approach is nothing
new. It was agreed in the Simla agreement, in 1972. So to claim it as success was only a
big fraud.
