India has kept control on Kashmir at gunpoint: Siraj

MIRPUR: Jamaat-i-Islami Ameer Sirajul Haq has said a total strike in held Kashmir during Indian Prime Minister Modi’s visit there has proved that not a single Kashmiri was ready to support India.

He was addressing the 15th annual convention of PIMA here at Mirpur in Azad Kashmir on Sunday. Siraj said India was keeping held Kashmir under its control at gunpoint but the Kashmiris youth were laying down their lives to establish that they would never accept India’s slavery. He said if India did not review her Kashmir policy, Khalistan, Asam and Tamil Nado would also secure freedom from India.

The JI chief said some world powers wanted the line of control to become permanent border between India and Pakistan but that was not the solution of the Kashmir issue. He said veteran Kashmiri leader Ali Geelani and Aseya Andrabi despite their old age were fighting Indian brutalities and were demanding that Pakistani rulers do not to yield to Indian pressure.

Siraj however said the Pakistani rulers who lived like Moghul princes were a divine curse for poor people. He said those surrendering to Obama and Trump and the IMF could not bring revolution.

The JI chief said the World Bank or socialism could not provide Roti Kapra and Makan. He said that Pakistan is a like a mosque and Quaid e Azam had repeatedly promised to build the country as an Islamic state.

Siraj said some westernized NGOs were trying to please their masters by promoting Sufi Islam but the Jamaat-i-Islami was giving a befitting reply to the secular and liberal elements through the teachings of Abul Aala Maudoodi.
