Srinagar, 28 Jan. : People’s
Political Party ( PPP) ,
Chairman, Hilal Ahmad War welcomes the initiatives of two leading media
groups
of India and Pakistan –Times of India Group and Jang Group and their
campaign
under the banner of “Aman Ki Aasha “
( Hope For Peace) to bring peace in
this region . War said that the unresolved Kashmir Dispute is the
stumbling
block in the way of sustainable peace and stability in this region.
Terming the
resolution of Kashmir issue as key to peace in the region, and said that
campaign of Aman Ki Aasha is bound
to meet failure if the core issue of Kashmir is ignored. “ If the
architects
and authors of this peace campaign are sincere in their effort for peace
and
tranquillity they must declare that Kashmir is dispute and the real bone
of
contention between India and Pakistan , secondly they should appeal
conscious
political leaders, highly acclaimed impartial journalists, writers and
peace
lovers of India and also those who urge for peace in this region , to
come
forward and unmask the hawks and warmongers of India like Lt. General
Deepak Kapoor,
Indian Chief of Army Staff and diplomat –cum-debater , Mr.
G.Parthasarthy and declare them enemies of
peace,” said War.
For this purpose, Times Now, news channel launched by Times of India
Group
should be utilized as a medium for peace not hatred. If they cannot do
that
then they must shut their shop of PEACE.
Mr.
War stated that recently Indian
Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General, Deepak Kapoor stated that Indian
troops are
ready in case of war that too simultaneously on both fronts with
Pakistan and
China and end it successfully within 96 hours. General Kapoor also
admitted the
possibility of a marginal conventional conflict cannot be ruled out. And
he
further stated that any conventional war between two countries can at
any time
turn into a nuclear war. Major General Deepak Kapoor’s irresponsible
statement
gives a clear message that there is some invisible hand behind his
statement
and the message is an indicator of possible war. Some observers and
analysts
say that this invisible hand is United States of America and its
satellite
country Israel. For this purpose they want create an excuse and
mastermind
another Mumbai attack so that it will pave the way for attacking
Pakistan and
China simultaneously. The United States of America wants to play same
role in
China as was played by India in 1971 in detaching East-Pakistan.
Therefore, it
is presumed that General Deepak Kapoor is ambitious to author the World War III.
God
forbid, if war breaks it will
engulf whole world and undoubtedly India will be a Big looser. India is
well
aware of the Pakistan’s missile programme which is more powerful than
India and
Pakistan has about 95 atomic bombs while as India has just 60-70. And in
case
of war both good and bad Taliban will certainly join Pakistan Army.
Therefore,
if war breaks out between two nuclear powers the Metropolitan cities of
India
like, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Kolkata will be wiped out
within no
time. In case China joins Pakistan, the Sino-Pak nexus will put India
into surprise.
This war will prove to be a waterloo for India. Therefore, let’s hope
good
sense prevails upon Govt. of India and its warmongers so that they
understand
the dynamics and consequences of this unfortunate war, and will explore
other
peaceful options to settle all outstanding issues including the core
issue of
Kashmir Nation.
The
one and half billion people of this region have every legitimate right
to
intervene as they are the real stakeholders of peace and to discourage
warmongers
like Lt. General Deepak Kapoor and G.Parthasarthy etc. and impress upon
Govt.
of India to give diplomacy a full chance to find out ways and means to
settle
Kashmir Dispute and combat the enemies of peace by exposing them.
In order to prevent the
South-Asian
Region from erupting to the prejudice and detriment of the global peace
the
long-standing Kashmir dispute urgently need to be solved amicably within
the
framework of fundamental Human Rights and justice to the concerned
struggling
people. In this connection the PPP’s
Roadmap containing 3 Point Formula advocated by our party since August
10, 1996
is the only tunnel to reach the goal and destination of peace and
human-brother
-hood which shall in turn ipso-facto close the doors and chances of
Atomic War.(Writer-South Asia)
