Hafiz Saeed asks Nawaz to convene OIC moot on Kashmir

LAHORE: Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) Ameer Hafiz Saeed on Thursday demanded Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to immediately call a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) in Islamabad to chalk out a unanimous strategy of the Muslim world for resolving the Kashmir issue.
“We are Kashmiris and Kashmir is ours; our religion binds us as one nation and we will always continue our moral support to our brothers oppressed by the brutality of Indian armed forces in Kashmir,” he said while addressing a public meeting outside the Lahore High Court on the occasion of the Kashmir Solidarity Day.
Hafiz Saeed warned that Indian foreign minister’s visit to China was a conspiracy against the independence of Kashmir, saying India was ready to accept all demands of China just for gaining its support for New Delhi’s permanent status in the United Nations Security Council and to calm down the countries raising voice for the liberation of Kashmir from Indian clutches. He said China was Pakistan’s friend but our government needed to understand these conspiracies.
The JuD Ameer demanded Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to summon a conference of Islamic countries’ heads in Islamabad on the issue of Kashmir. He said there was no room left for back-channel diplomacy with India. Hafiz Saeed said Pakistan was the biggest attorney of Kashmir’s oppressed nation; therefore, it should boycott the United Nations (UN), if it did not cooperate in solving the Kashmir issue. He said Pakistan fought the war for America, provided its air space, airports and roads for 13 years but now President Obama had declared India its main partner and friend in the region.
The JuD Ameer said Pakistan should strengthen its ties with China and the Muslim countries because China had never deceived Pakistan whereas America always did. He said America threatened Pakistan of surgical strikes but they would never dare it. He suggested that Muslim countries should make their own Muslim United Nations and develop their joint army. America, India and Israel — they all are enemies of Islam and making conspiracies against Pakistan because they see its nuclear power as the “atom bomb of Islam”.
