Kashmir settlement vital for peace in South Asia: Al-Moosvi

ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT+APP): Senior APHC leader and the
President of Jammu and Kashmir Anjuman-e-Sharie Shian, Agha Syed
Hassan Al-Moosvi Al-Safvi, has said that hoping for normal
situation in the region is meaningless without resolving the
Kashmir dispute in accordance with the Kashmiris’ aspirations.
According to KMS,Al-Moosvi addressing a huge gathering in
Budgam said that settlement of the lingering dispute was the
heartiest yearning and wish of the Kashmiri people.
He said that Indian administration had assured in 2008 and
2009 during mass protests to settle the Kashmir dispute but later
adopted traditional policy of intransigence. The ongoing uprising
is result and reaction of that treachery, he said.
The APHC leader deplored that Indian forces’ personnel were
using pellets and other lethal weapons to crush the Kashmiris’
ongoing freedom movement. He urged the people to follow the
protest calendar being issued by the joint resistance leadership.
He demanded release of illegally detained Kashmiris languishing in
different jails.
He also welcomed the adoption of Pakistan-sponsored
resolution on the people’s right to self-determination by the
Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly. He said
that the Kashmiris would not accept anything short of their right
to self-determination.
Meanwhile, Hurriyet leader, Dr Ghulam Muhammad Hubbi,
addressing a gathering in Charar-e-Shareef said that the
sacrifices rendered by the Kashmiri people for resolution of the
Kashmir dispute would not be allowed to go waste. He urged India
to take steps towards settling the dispute through talks. He also
asked the Kashmiri people to follow in letter and spirit the
protest programmes being issued by the resistance leadership.
