AJK President urges for infusing complete unity to frustrate Indian evil designs

MIRPUR (AJK): Oct 10 (DNA): The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President
Sardar Masood Khan has said that closing eyes like a pigeon will not
avert dangers, we have to prepare at every level to fight the storm
coming from India by realizing the evil intentions of the enemy.

“The followers of Hindutva do not want to eliminate the Muslims in India
and Kashmir alone but are conspiring, what they are publicly saying, to
extend their frontiers up to Kohala, Azad Pattan and Wakhan,” he
insisted.

He expressed these views while addressing a luncheon hosted in honour of
the leaders and workers of the Milli Yakjehti Council (National
Solidarity Council) at the Aiwan-e-Sadr, Muzaffarabad on Saturday, AJK
President office later told.

The event was also addressed by Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan leader Liaquat
Baloch and former Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami Azad Kashmir and Chairman of
the Public Accounts Committee of AJK Legislative Assembly, Abdul Rashid
Turabi and other speakers.

The President urged the religious scholars and spiritual leaders to use
the forums of mosques, imambargahs, seminaries, and shrines to caution
the people about the imminent dangers, and tell them that the fascist
Indian rulers have altogether changed the status of occupied Kashmir,
and now they are eyeing on Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

The religious scholars besides promoting unity and harmony among
different schools of thought, should mentally prepare the nation to
counter the threats confronting the country,”he added.

About the situation prevailing in occupied Kashmir, the AJK president
said that Indian designs can be gauged from the fact that it had
deployed one million regular troops in the held territory while the
former Soviet Union had deployed 250,000 troops during 20 years war and
later the United States had deployed 150,000 troops to capture
Afghanistan.

He went on to say that India had deployed one million troops to not
fight any terrorism but to salaughter eight million Kashmiri people.

Khan said that after having failed to suppress the Kashmiri people
through inhuman repression, India had decided to change the demography
of Kashmir by settling Indian Hindus in occupied Kashmir so that the
Kashmir issue is buried for good.

Speaking at the function, Jamaat Islami Pakistan leader Liaqat Baloch
said that all tricks and plans of the fascist Indian regime are bound to
fail, and the Kashmir would certainly become independent.

Declaring Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan as the first defence lines
of Pakistan, Liaqat Baloch said that the people of both regions must get
the rights equal to their Pakistani compatriots. He warned that the
federal government must not take any action about Gilgit-Baltistan,
which is harmful for the Kashmir liberation movement in any sense, and
said that plebiscite in accordance with the UN Security Council
resolutions was the sole solution to the Kashmir issue.

The Chairman Public Accounts Committee of AJK Legislative Assembly,
Abdul Rashid Turabi lauded the efforts of Azad Kashmir President Sardar
Masood Khan in highlighting the Kashmir issue with full courage, bravery
and wisdom at the national and international level.

He said that President Masood played not only the role of ambassador of
Pakistan and Kashmiris but also represented the entire Muslim Ummah. He
said that the role of Sardar Masood Khan in the field of diplomacy is a
role model for all ambassadors of the country.

He said that as the President of Azad Kashmir, we are both satisfied and
proud of the way he went to every nook and corner of the world and
highlighted the sufferings and plights of oppressed Kashmiris of IOJK.
