Islamabad, July 25: The Chairman of Jammu and
Kashmir Peoples Freedom League (JKPFL), Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has
said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are determined to continue
their struggle against Indian occupation till its logical conclusion.
Muhammad Farooq Rehmani in a statement in Islamabad said that the
ongoing upsurge against the over stay of Indian troops and paramilitary
forces, draconian laws and installation of stooges by fraud elections,
was being handled by the 21st century youth, who had the stamina to
continue the unarmed fight for the right of self determination, as they
had burnt their boats and exhausted their patience before the monster of
state terrorism.
He said that every other thing except the current experiment had
become irrelevant in this situation. He hoped that the pro-India lobby
in any garb would not be allowed to rule the roost. “Experience and
wisdom coupled with the circumstances will dictate terms of the
uprising,” he added.
Muhammad Farooq Rehmani out-rightly rejected the internal autonomy
proposal of both senior and junior Abdullah and termed it obsolete. He
regretted the cold shoulder attitude of the world community and said
that only Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and some other
western human rights groups seriously censored India for its unabated
oppression and abuses in occupied Kashmir, while no country could voice
their resentment against the inhuman situation created by the Indian
authorities in the territory.
The JKPFL Chairman criticized America for its ''Hands off policy'' on
Kashmir, warning that this policy would not bring peace and prosperity
to South Asia. He deplored that the America, which had sponsored and
endorsed the Security Council resolutions on Kashmir in the last
century, now was giving an old international dispute a bilateral curl.
''The Kashmiris will never barter away their slogan nor withdraw on
Indian terms. They will not accept bilateral bend or interpretation of
the dispute or political and economic packages not reflecting the
sentiments of the people, but will continue to stress upon the world
leaders including America to fulfil their promises with the Kashmiris
according to the Security Council’s resolutions, as they did in other
cases of international character and dimension,'' he remarked.(Writer-South Asia)
