Open channels of dialogue for peaceful Kashmir resolution, Waza tells India

Javaid hails efforts of Kashmiri Diaspora for organizing ‘Million March’

Srinagar, October 24: Senior APHC leader and Jammu Kashmir Peoples League Chairman, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza, accompanied by Liberation Front Chairman, Javaid Ahmad Mir and Imtiyaz Ahmad Reshi, Friday asked Indian government to open the channels of dialogue with Pakistan and Pro-Freedom Kashmiri leadership for averting a nuclear disaster in the region.

Addressing a gathering after Friday congregations in Kulgam district of South Kashmir, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza said that growing tension between the armies of India and Pakistan on borders is pushing both the countries towards a war which will bring a nuclear disaster in whole of the south Asian region.

“India and Pakistan has fought several wars over the issue of Kashmir but this time if they confronted each other it will be a nuclear disaster for the whole south Asian region as both the countries involved in conflict are armed with nuclear arms.” Waza told the gathering, adding region can’t bear the consequences of a nuclear war.

APHC leaders said that the Bhartiya Janta Party government in New Delhi led by its Prime Minister Narendra Modi need to introspect their Kashmir policy as the policy of oppression and repression has yielded nothing so far.

“Firing bullets, shells on borders can’t resolve the issue of Kashmir nor can the relations between the two countries can improve, hence if Modi wants peace and prosperity of the country then he has to resolve the dispute of Kashmir for normalizing the relations with Pakistan.” They said.

They said that Kashmir issue is the primary reason of confrontation between the countries.

They hailed the efforts of Kashmiri Diaspora for organizing ‘Kashmiri Million March’ in London and urged the world community to help in the resolution of decade’s old Kashmir dispute according to aspirations of Kashmiri people.

APHC leaders said that international community has accepted the Kashmir conflict a dispute and for its peaceful resolution, United Nation has passed several resolutions which guarantee right to self-determination to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

They said that on 27th October in 1947 Indian armed forces occupied Kashmiri forcibly and the first resolution related to Kashmir issue was passed by the United Nation’s on 13 August 1948, clearly advocating to hold a plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir as well as directs both the countries-India and Pakistan not to claim sovereignty over the region but India continues to use oppression and suppression and is not implementing the resolutions.
