These rulers were answerable to the masses now because all the problems being faced by the masses were because of this war.
Siraj said the 26th of January, the Republic Day of India, had been observed as the Black Day by the people of Kashmir and Pakistan. “What sort of democracy it is that has been holding more than ten million Kashmiris as slaves on gun point”, he asked. He said India had usurped the basic rights of the Kashmiri Muslims. Had Obama been a true a democratic and a lover of peace, he would have advised Modi to implement the UN resolutions on Kashmir and supported the Kashmiris right to self-determination, Siraj said.
JI chief said Kashmir should be the top priority in the Pakistan’s national policy because the very existence and survival of the country was linked with the liberation of Kashmir. He, however, deplored that the rulers in Islamabad got shaky under outside pressure and if they took two steps forward, they would take four steps backward. However, he said, such a policy could not work anymore.
Siraj said the Pakistani rulers could betray the Kashmiris but the brave Pakistani people could not abandon the Kashmiri brethren, and the movement for the liberation of Kashmir would continue till Kashmir became a part of Pakistan. He said people of occupied Kashmir had offered untold sacrifices but had not given up their struggle. Even today, they stood firm against India. But unfortunately, the cowardly rulers in Islamabad had sabotaged the liberation struggle of the Kashmiris.
“Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif claims to be a Kashmiri but he is not doing the duty that devolves on his shoulders as a Kashmiri. The nation can tolerate the petrol crisis, price-hike and loadshedding but it could not tolerate Kashmiris betrayal,” he said.
JI Azad Kashmir chief Abdul Rashid Turabi, in his address, said democracy of India was a farce. He said the US support could not save India from a crushing defeat in Kashmir. He said if the US, despite its huge army and Nato forces could be defeated in Afghanistan, India had also been defeated at the hands of Kashmiris, and it seemed the two defeated pawns were trying to support each other.
