ON BEHALF OF THE KASHMIR DIASPORA ALLIANCE, EID MUBARAK TO ALL!: HABIB YOUSAFZAI, CHAIRMAN OF THE KASHMIR DIASPORA ALLIANCE


ASSLAAM-O-ALAIKUM!

On behalf of the Kashmir Diaspora Alliance, we would like to wish all a very joyous and blessed Eid Mubarak. On this day, we should give thanks to our lord, Almighty Allah that he has blessed us with the honour of fasting for him once more. Also, we should remember that although we have gone through a bit of hardship in this month of Ramadan, there are many who are constantly in the state of hunger due to poverty, and, are not able to practice their religious obligations such as those in occupied territories. We are unable to be truly happy on this joyous occasion as those that we love continue to live in hardship and oppression. May God have mercy on them and give them the freedom to celebrate the joyous occasion of Eid as we do. Allah says in the Quran in Surah 94, verse numbers 5-6, “For indeed, with hardship will be ease (5) Indeed with hardship will be ease (6)”, as such, we are sure that there cries have not fallen on deaf ears.

Let us give thanks to Almighty Allah for all the blessings that he has bestowed upon us, pray that he accepts our tiny efforts, and helps all those who are oppressed. Eid Mubarak to all!

Shimla agreement signed on July 02, 1972 in Shimla the capital city of the Indian state of Hamichal Pradesh between the government of India and Islamic Republic of Pakistan following the war between the two nations in 1971. This agreement is falling far short of covering the entire scenario; in particular it does not condemn the Indian government for its interference in East Pakistan presently known as Bangladesh. The Indian government divided Muslims in East Pakistan and West Pakistan and created animosity amongst them and not only trained the people of East Pakistan but also provided them with arms and even provided armed combatants. Furthermore, they also murdered those people who sympathized to the cause of a united Pakistan and placed the blame on Pakistan itself. All of these facts are not a part of the Shimla agreement and still the Indian government owes an apology to the Pakistani state for its heinous crime of breaking a nation.

However the Shimla agreement does not limit Pakistan’s claim on Maqbooza Kashmir nor does it give ownership of this territory to India. The United Nations office which has recently received great pressure to be shut down in New Delhi should not as the matter is yet to be resolved; the Indian army is still stationed in Maqbooza Kashmir also known as Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir. If through the Shimla agreement this matter was not able to be resolved, the international community under the leadership of the United Nations must interfere in this matter. Placing Indian nationals and providing them with illegal settlements in Srinagar is equivalent to placing illegal Israeli settlers in Palestine. This is strategically changing the demographics of the situation and an obvious attempt to deter Maqbooza Kashmir’s accession to Pakistan.

As such, it is imperative to realize that the UN presence is still valid and is essential to solving the situation at hand. The UN must administer a plebiscite wherein the Kashmiri people can determine their own faith. Also the UN’s presence is essential for proper democratic treatment of liberation leaders who are being indiscriminately arrested such as Yasin Malik in order to quell the democratic right of self-determination of the people of Maqbooza Kashmir. Similarly, UN being in charge of the safety of humanity it must keep a close eye on the Sikh state of Punjab Khalistan (also under illegal occupation since August 15, 1947 by the Indian government) wherein more than 270,000 innocent Sikhs have been killed by the Indian army.

Police foil JKLF protest; Yasin Malik detained

GK NEWS NETWORK

Srinagar, July 11: Police Friday used force to quell a protest by the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) here against the “growing Indian and Israeli aggression.”The JKLF had planned the protest at Lal Chowk, but police arrested its chief Muhammad Yasin Malik in a nocturnal raid at his Maisuma house and lodged him at the Kothibagh police station. Police had sealed all routes leading to Maisuma.

After Friday prayers, the JKLF vice-president, Bashir Ahmad Bhat, led a rally of the party leaders and activists from Maqbool Manzil to Lal Chowk. “We are holding this rally against Indian aggression on Kashmiris, its decision to close down UNMOGIP office in New Delhi, abolishing Muslim Personal Law and also Israeli terrorism in Palestine,” Bhat said. “The decision of New Delhi to close down the UNMOGIP office in Delhi is a glaring example of its growing arrogance.”

The protestors shouted pro-freedom slogans and marched toward Lal Chowk. As the rally reached Budshah Chowk, a contingent of cops swung into action and cane-charged the protestors, injuring many of them, including JKLF secretary general Ghulam Rasool Dar (Eidhi). Police detained some JKLF senior leaders including Bashir Ahmad Bhat, Showkat Ahmad Bakshi and Sheikh Abdul Rashid.

Later, youth took to streets and fought pitched battle with police and forces. Reports said while dispersing the protestors, police allegedly misbehaved with some pedestrians. Irked by this, announcements were made on public address systems of local Masjids asking people to protest the “police highhandedness.”

Earlier, Bhat said, after the establishment of BJP government in New Delhi, “every little space for peaceful political struggle has been choked.” “Arresting JKLF chairman prior to today’s peaceful protest is an example of this,” he said.

THE MAQBOOZA KASHMIR AKA INTERNATIONALLY DISPUTED AREAS OF JAMMU KASHMIR AND ITS INHABITANTS ARE LEGALLY A PART OF PAKISTAN RESPECTIVELY: HABIB YOUSAFZAI, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE KASHMIR DIASPORA ALLIANCE

THE MAQBOOZA KASHMIR AKA INTERNATIONALLY DISPUTED AREAS OF JAMMU KASHMIR AND ITS INHABITANTS ARE LEGALLY A PART OF PAKISTAN RESPECTIVELY: HABIB YOUSAFZAI, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE KASHMIR DIASPORA ALLIANCE


ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM!

AS CLAIMED BY GULZAR SUDOZAI IN THE PARAGRAPH POSTED BELOW, THE AREA NOW KNOWN AS AZAD JAMMU KASHMIR WAS NEVER A PART OF THE KASHMIR STATE IN THEIR ENTIRE HISTORY.

We are all chained. We get conceived in the wombs of mothersAfter getting free from that castle, we still remain chained to mother, father, brothers, sisters, uncles and grandparents, our environment, society, school. Then we are taught a faith, which gets so ingrained that we get chained to it for whole life. The country of our birth, the life partner we choose, the children we have all keep us chained. Then we have some illusions and we get chained to these illusions. Jammu and Kashmir is one such illusion that some of us have created in our imaginations. The present areas known as Jammu and Kashmir came into being in 1846, when the British East India Company, which was then known as British Indian Empire, though the Mughal Emperor still ruled from Delhi, had first created Sikh Empire in 1809, and then at the demise of this empire sold these areas to one of their spies and agent Gulab Singh. The British had no legal or moral authority to sell these areas. The areas now known as Ajk were never part of Kashmir state in their entire history. These areas were part of greater India or Iran or Kabul Empire. From 1586 onwards these areas including Kashmir valley were part of Mughal Empire. The Muslims of whole of then J and K state which was in fact part of British Empire, as there were other 561 states, rose at the call of rest of Muslim India and overwhelmingly displayed their desire to join Pakistan as predominant Muslim area to join Pakistan. In fact the Muslims of these areas had never accepted Dogra rule and had been struggling to throw away this yoke. So when the Muslims of India decided to carve out a Muslim state known as Pakistan, the Muslims of Kashmir also decided to join Pakistan. On 19 July 1947 the Muslim conference decided to join Pakistan by a landmark decision under the leadership of Sardar Ibrahim in Srinagar. The people of Ajk rose against Dogras when the Dogra ruler hesitated to decide in favour of Pakistan and the rest is history. Jammu and Kashmir as per United Nations resolutions has ether to be part of Pakistan or India. We the people of Ajk are lucky that we are free and we joined Pakistan at the right moment. We are culturally, and religiously part of contiguous areas of Pakistan. The language, dialect and traditions prevalent in our adjacent areas of Rawalpindi, Jhelum and Gujrat are same. Most of our people have shifted to these areas and have inter marriages. Our properties are here in Pakistan. More than half of Islamabad is owned by people of Ajk. So my brother those of you who are enjoying lives in Europe should avoid creating problems for us. We are loyal to Pakistan and are very happy in- and with Pakistan. And as you people are now European nationals you should be loyal to that government. I will request you people to not to play in Indian hands and please avoid creating problems for us here in Azad Kashmir as we do not want to turn AJK into FATA or Baluchistan.

HABIB YOUSAFZAI, CHAIRMAN OF THE KASHMIR DIASPORA ALLIANCE STRONGLY CONDEMNS THE ILLEGAL RAID OF THE HOUSE AND ARREST OF MR. NAQASH CHAIRMAN OF THE ISLAMIC POLITICAL PARTY OF THE INTERNATIONALLY DISPUTED AREAS OF JAMMU KASHMIR

ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM!

The recent arrest of Mr.Mohammad Yousaf Naqash is yet another desperate move by the Indian government in order to maintain its illegal occupation over the occupied territory of Maqbooza Kashmir also known as  Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu Kashmir as designated by the UN. The fact remains; the arrest of those who would fight for the oppressed is just one strategy that the Indian government is using in order to solidify its illegitimate claims on the region.
Most recently, the Indian government has also been vigorously changing the demographic situation of the occupied territory by bringing in other religious groups into the region. These are petty tactics and those within the occupied regions and abroad are fully aware. Yet, the Indian government should take note that those who are fighting for the freedom of the oppressed will not simply back down due to fear tactics and tactful/ illegal settlements. We will fight until the end for our rightful accession to Pakistan.

The international community is still well aware that the Indian government will go to any lengths in infringing human rights in order to establish its hegemony in the area. Just one prime example of this is the Sikh nation who fought alongside the Muslim to librate India from Britishers, yet now lives as marginalized citizens. The Sikh nation and world still remember well the tragic incident of 1984 where thousands of Sikhs were mercilessly killed by an Indian military incursion.  

As such, the Indian government must immediately change its foreign policy aspirations and its bid for hegemony within the region. It must immediately withdraw all of its armed and civil personnel from the occupied territory after which a plebiscite can be held within the occupied territory of Maqbooza Kashmir.

Spokesman of the Islamic Political Party J K has strongly condemned that the Police Raided the house of Senior Member Hurriyat Conference J K and Chairman Islamic Political Party J K  Mr.Mohammad Yousuf Naqash to arrest him.
