Division of Jammu and Kashmir will be
opposed, UKPNP
President United
Kashmir Peoples National Party, British Zone, Usman Kayani, and Dr Shabir
Choudhry, President Foreign Affairs Committee had a detailed meeting to discuss
current situation of forcibly divided Jammu and Kashmir State.
Both leaders
agreed that Jammu and Kashmir dispute is not an issue of so called Muslim Umma,
which is deeply divided and is busy fighting each other. Jammu and Kashmir
dispute concerns our fundamental human rights, which include our inherent and
most cherished right to live independently in accordance with our religious,
cultural and traditional values.
Our motherland, Jammu
and Kashmir State is multi religious, multi – cultural and multi – ethnic State,
and all citizens must have equal rights to practise their religions. The government
must not have any role in giving directions to citizens, as to what religion people
should follow.
The UKPNP leaders
said the government should not have any religion; and all organs of the government
must work in accordance with the law of the land. They must not treat people
differently because of their religious, cultural and ethnic affiliations.
Both leaders
said, under the current situation where both India and Pakistan are conniving
to emasculate our struggle for united and independent Jammu and Kashmir; and
promote their proxies to take the centre stage, we people of the UKPNP have to
come forward and take the leading role.
For this
purpose, we must reorganise and strengthen ourselves to advance the cause of united
and independent Jammu and Kashmir. For the peace, stability and better future
of South Asia, all stakeholders must oppose extremism, terrorism, intolerance
and religious hatred, and ensure disputes are resolved by a process of dialogue.
All those who
have any interest in peace and stability of South Asia must ensure that Jammu
and Kashmir is not divided, as that WILL NOT solve any problems, if anything it
will promote extremism and violence, and destabilise the region.
Both leaders
said, it is sad that our motherland and our people are divided, mainly because
of the forced occupation and religious extremism, but we will not accept division
in any form or shape. The UKPNP will oppose all those who want to divide our
motherland and promote intolerance and religious hatred. In this regard, we
have to be vigilant, and ensure that proxies and propagandists of occupiers must
not mislead people. END
Dr Shabir
Choudhry Usman Kiani
