ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM!
The fact of the matter is that India forcibly occupied
all three regions Hyderabad, Junagarh, and Jammu and Kashmir using a different
logic to justify its claim in each case and utilized its superior military
force to annex each territory. Therefore, our only intention is to bring this
issue to light within the international community in order to be solved where
both Pakistan and India have failed to bilaterally solve the problem. Not only
does this issue create a serious regional threat of nuclear war, and inhibit
the peace process between the two states, but also there are innocent people
being murdered in Jammu and Kashmir by the Indian army every single day. Thus
it is not and cannot be considered simply an issue of disputed territory between
the two states but rather it is an international problem. Hence, where the two nation
theory was applied during the creation of Pakistan in August 14, 1947 the same
logic needs to be applied to Jammu and Kashmir. As such, simply using delaying tactics and
playing the blame game, India will not succeed in changing the ground reality
and must cease its illegal occupation over our state.
