Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs and National
Security Sartaj Aziz blamed on Saturday India for wanting to resolve the
Kashmir dispute in its own way, which he said Pakistan would not allow.
“India wants to resolve the Kashmir dispute in its own way and
Pakistan will not allow this Indian attempt to succeed,” he said while speaking
to reporters in Islamabad.
The adviser added that Pakistan is responding to Indian firing
along the Line of Control (LoC) and working boundary in a befitting manner,
adding that the Pakistan’s desire for peace should not be mistaken as its
weakness.
The adviser on foreign affairs said Pakistan has been
highlighting human rights violations by the Indian forces in Indian Kashmir
where India has deployed 700,000 troops to suppress Kashmiris.
Referring to India’s Home Minister Rajnath
Singh’s statement disapproving of Pakistan’s recent move of
approaching the UN to ‘internationalise the Kashmir issue’ and seeking the
world body’s intervention, saying all issues could be resolved through
bilateral talks, Aziz said, “UN resolutions on Kashmir cannot be ended in this
way.”
“We are making efforts at an international level to make the UN
Military Observers Mission more active,” he said while talking about
cross-border firing by India.
“The government will send emissaries and delegations to
different countries to inform them about the Indian aggression on Line of
Control and human rights violations in occupied Kashmir by the Indian forces,”
he added.
Kashmir to
observe Black Day on Monday
Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and the world
over will observe Black Day on October 27 to convey to the world that India has
occupied Jammu and Kashmir against their will, according to Radio Pakistan.
The day will be marked with a complete shut down in Indian
Kashmir and rallies in world capitals as it was October 27, 1947 that Indian
troops invaded Jammu and Kashmir and occupied it.
A call for the shut down has been given by the All Parties
Hurriyet Conference Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.
Farooq criticised India for diluting the Kashmir dispute and
delaying its resolution by raking up electoral and administrative issues.
Addressing a gathering at Charar-e-Sharief in Badgam he said,
“Kashmir is a political issue concerning aspirations of the people of Jammu and
Kashmir and unfulfilled promises on the right to self-determination by Indian
leadership. Ironically, India is using all means to dilute the Kashmir
dispute by linking it with electoral and administrative issues,” Kashmir Media
Service (KMS) reported.
The APHC chairman said that delaying tactics by New Delhi
vis-a-vis resolution of Kashmir would compound the longstanding
dispute. ”If India thinks that its military approach can suppress the
sentiments and aspirations of Kashmiris, it is mistaken as Kashmiris have
rendered unparalleled sacrifices for securing their right to
self-determination.”
He added that hostilities between India and Pakistan would only
end with the resolution of the Kashmir conflict.
Mirwaiz also extended complete support for the planned Million
March in London, on 26 October, by the Kashmiri's living in Britain and across
Europe.
He said that on this day, the Hurriyet leadership on both sides
of the Line of Control would submit a memorandum to the European Union and the
British Parliament demanding their intervention in resolution of the dispute.
“British government has moral responsibility to resolve the
Kashmir dispute as it was instrumental in creation of this problem in 1947,” he
remarked.
