Pakistan fully capable of defending its territory: Fazl

ISLAMABAD: Kashmir Committee Chairman and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Thursday said Pakistan was fully capable to defend its territory and thwart any external aggression.

Talking to the media outside the Parliament House, he said India was trying to disturb regional peace by threatening Pakistan, but “our armed forces are fully equipped to reply to Indian aggression and the international community should listen to the voice of Kashmiris for their right to self-determination”.

He said Kashmiri people were struggling against Indian atrocities, demanding their just right to plebiscite and the international community must pressure India to honour UN resolutions and stop violation of human rights in Held Kashmir.

He said the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) supported Pakistan’s stand on Kashmir and called upon the world to help Kashmiris win their just right and stop India from warmongering.

He urged the Indian leadership to adopt a sensible approach and respect its commitment made to Kashmiri people at the United Nations as the policy of aggression against innocent people would not be in favour of India itself.
