JKLF chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik said development, progress, success in trade, commerce and economic activities can only become fruitful in peaceful and stable environment for which solving Kashmir is a must.
“Recent visit of US president Barrack Obama to India was a failure in this regard. Kashmiris will fight all those who want to change demography of Jammu Kashmir and thus harm the political, social and geographical environment of Jammu Kashmir,” Malik told a gathering at central Chowk of Ganderbal today.
“Obama’s recently visited India and signed many economic deals with his Indian counterparts. No sane person can oppose trade, commerce, economic activities and bilateral pacts between nations as these activities are right of every nation but when these activities become source of misery for oppressed nations, when these become a free license for further oppression and undermining suppressed nations, every person who believes in freedom of humans and follows ideologies based on peaceful coexistence will raise his or her voices against these kind of activities,” he said.
“When Barack Obama became U.S president first time, oppressed nations like Jammu Kashmir and Palestine assumed that he will positively break ice and through his pro active approach will try to resolve these human issues and disputes. This assumption was because of Mr. Obama’s claims of being a follower of great martin Luther king Jr. And also because during his election campaign he had made promises to make efforts for resolution of these issues. But today especially after his Indian visit, he also instead of showing statesmanship has turned into a trader who only wants to secure economic benefits for his big companies and provide his capitalists a chance to explore the huge Indian market.”
Malik said it is painful and regrettable that while doing so, U.S president has marginalized the ideology of great martin Luther king Jr. whom he claims to follow. “International community including US and Indian leadership knows it well that economic progress and enhance in trade and commerce is subservient to peace and stability and in south Asia Jammu Kashmir issue has been and is a glaring reality without solving which nobody can dream of peace and stability. Hence if we intend to promote economy and trade we will have to address issues that are causing disturbance to peace and need to resolve these issues at the earliest, the JKLF chairman said and added that Indian and American leaders claim of following martin Luther king and Gandhi Jee “but they should know that personalities like Jinnah sahib, Ghandi Jee and king are respected for being upright, steadfast for humanity and not putting weaker nations and people in jeopardy for their pity economic benefits.”
Speaking on the proposals of parliamentary committee to provide permanent citizenship of Jammu Kashmir to refugees from West Pakistan, Malik said, “This is a conspiracy to change Muslim character of Jammu Kashmir, harm its social, religious and political character and damage the ecology of Jammu Kashmir. He said that Kashmiris will defend the special status of Jammu Kashmir even at the cost of their lives. Jammu Kashmir is a land full of forests and water bodies and lands of this kind are protected throughout the universe. But unfortunately religious fanatics in India portray this as something different and are hell bent upon destroying this special status of Jammu Kashmir for their pity political gains and illegal occupation on Jammu Kashmir.”
“These chauvinist forces and religious fanatics in 1947 massacred lakhs of Muslims in Jammu with impunity and thus changed the demography of Jammu city completely. The properties of those massacred or driven out forcefully to Azad Kashmir were confiscated and when state assembly in 1982 passed a resolution regarding those people, Indian state through its judiciary opposed and halted the resolution. Yasin sahib said that the condemnable conspiracies hatched at the behest of RSS and its allies under the garb of religion will go disparaged. We will fight these conspiracies and will not allow anyone to play with our identity,” he asserted.
“As humans we also share the pain of refugees from West Pakistan but if Indian state, its parliament and political parties are concerned about these humans why don’t they settle them permanently in states of India like Punjab, Haryana, UP. Refugees from West Pakistan are in every respect the citizens of India. They are not part of Jammu Kashmir and will never be so in future also granting them permanent citizenship of Jammu Kashmir, right to vote etc are a conspiracy to destroy the existing social fabric of Jammu Kashmir, change the demography of the state and destroy its majority Muslim status,” he claimed.
Malik said that People of Jammu Kashmir will never remain silent spectators over these ‘conspiracies’ and we will defend the special status of Jammu Kashmir, its Muslim character, its ecology and environment even at the cost of their lives. “Resistance against these conspiracies will continue,” he vowed.
