Reacts to Deoband stand, Kashmir is a UN mandated disputed territory: Peoples League
Senior APHC Leader and Acting Chairman of Jammu Kashmir Peoples League, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza has reacted sharply to Deoband reference to Kashmir as an integral part of India has termed it a sterile moribund rhetoric. Mukhtar Waza reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir is the UN mandated disputed territory whose political future is yet to be ascertained. ”Jamiat-Ulema-i-Hind (JuH), a body of Deoband clerics, on Kashmir reference to Kashmir as an integral part of India is contrary to the United Nations record. It is also contrary to various promises and commitments made by the Indian leadership to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, in different international Fora and also on the floor of Indian parliament,” Waza said.
Mukhtar Waza stated that former Indian Prime Minister, Nehru’s words were still ringing and echoing when he said, “We had given our pledge to the people of Kashmir and subsequently to the United Nations; we stood by it and we stand by it today. Let the people of Kashmir decide.”
Mukhtar Waza has appealed to the international community to impress upon India to settle the Kashmir dispute. He said that the lingering dispute should be resolved according to the aspiration of Kashmiri people. He said that Indian intransigent stance on Kashmir was the main hurdle to settle the dispute.
