Kashmir issue

Kashmir is a bone of contention between Pakistan and India. The Kashmir issue is the
biggest hindrance in the normalization of relations between Pakistan and India. The two
countries have fought two full fledged wars over this issue. In view of its geo-political
significance, India desired to asquire Kashmir when partition of the sub-continent became
inevitable in 1947. The Maharaja acceded to India under dubious circumstances when the
Kashmiri Muslims revolted against the evil designs of India.

Pakistan is of the view that only the people Of Kashmir have a right to determine the
future of Kashmir. The UN resolutions of August 13, 1948 and January 5, 1949, which were
accepted both by India' and Pakistan provided for the holding a plebiscite under the UN
auspices to settle the Kashmir issue.
The people of Kashmir have been suffering from inexpressible miseries since 1948. The
unending curfew, rape cases, torture cells and crushing of their resources only the slight
expression of their miseries . A new hell can be witnessed in this Old heaven.

India is projecting the struggle in Kashmir as 'Muslim Fundamentalism". India cannot

throw dust into the eyes of the World Community by labelling the Kashmir Liberation
Movement as "Religious Fanaticism." In fact, Kashmiri people along with their Islamic
aspirations are fighting for the protection of their political, religious, cultural and economic
rights. It is the expression of the entire community. The Indian authorities have failed to
understand the core issue and are trying to deal it as that of law and order. They link it to
terrorism sponsored (347) by Pakistan.
 The time has come when UNO should play an active role as it has played in Iraq-Kuwait
case. The resolutions on Kashmir are yet to be fully implemented
The UNO has lost its repute as peace keeping and peace making body. The unending
struggle of the freedom fighters has proved that the Will of the people cannot be suppressed It
is the moral obligation of the International Community to rescue the innocent Kashmiris from
the brutalities, cruelties and atrocities of the occupation army of India. The Muslim Ummah
should also come out of its slumber and prove it to the world that Islam is a force which cannot
be suppressed.
