Welcomes OIC statement on Kashmir
Srinagar, March 06: (GNS) Senior member Hurriyat Conference Jammu Kashmir and Chairman Islamic Political Party-JK Muhammad Yousuf Naqash has said that we are not averse to resumption of bilateral talks between India and Pakistan for minimizing trust deficit and developing friendly relations in the interest of both countries and south Asia but bilateral talks on Kashmir would not be acceptable to people as India is buying time to maintain the status quo.
According to statement issued here on Friday, Naqash while addressing a public gathering at Bagiweder Srinagar has said, We would never accept any solution which doesnt take the sacrifices and wishes of Kashmiris into account, even if the entire world develops a consensus on it.
He said, Kashmir dispute can be resolved through tripartite talks or through the implementation of United Nations Resolutions, the only acceptable solution to Kashmir issue Naqash said, The UN resolutions form the bed rock of Kashmir issue as this accord international recognition to our birth right Right to Self Determination and makes our case strong. Giving up UN resolutions or adopting any deviation is never ever possible as this will cause irreparable damage to our mission freedom, for which we have already sacrificed our two generations besides loss of material worth trillions. Kashmiri nations cannot afford to betray these sacrifices he added.
He further said that bilateral talks on Kashmir, between India and Pakistan and between Kashmiri leaders and New Delhi had taken place 134 times, but these had proved futile. So we stress for sustained, structured tripartite dialogue for the just, honorable and lasting solution of Kashmir issue in accordance with the wishes and aspirations of the people as per U N Resolutions.
Meanwhile, Muhammad Yousuf Naqash also demanded immediate release of all the political prisoners including those who are serving life term with immediate effect and pro-freedom leaders should be allowed to travel abroad freely .IPPJK Chairman said, Kashmir is an international dispute and this region comes under the ambit of conflict zones of the world. So, all the prisoners related to this issue are political prisoners and they cant be detained for the whole life nor can they be treated as professional criminals.
Meanwhile, Naqash has appreciated the statement of OIC General Secretary Iyad bin Amin Madani at UNHRC 28th Session where he stressed that Kashmir dispute should be solved according to the wishes of Kashmiris through a result oriented dialogue. (GNS)
