LAHORE: Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Pakistan, Sirajul Haq has warned the government and Kashmiri leadership against the US and Indian designs on Kashmir.
Addressing a “Kashmir Solidarity Convention” in Model Town Lahore on Monday, he said, “Washington wants division of the disputed region on permanent basis while turning Pakistan into desert by blocking its waters from western rivers is the desire of New Delhi.”
Organized by the JI Lahore chapter, the event was attended by a large number of people from all walks of life.
“Washington wants division of the disputed region on permanent basis while turning Pakistan into desert by blocking its waters from western rivers is the desire of New Delhi.”
Senator Siraj said those who thought US President Donald Trump mediation would offer a viable solution to the Kashmir issue were actually living fools’ paradise. He said people of Kashmir and Pakistan would never accept any settlement of the Kashmir issue in violation of UN Resolutions.
He said that rulers were only making tall claims that they would fight for Kashmir till last bullet and last breath but practically they had not taken a single step in support of the besieged people.
The incapability and cowardice of the incumbent and past governments was the only hurdle in solution of Kashmir issue, the JI chief added.
He said, “Mere admitting Tipu Sultan his hero is not enough but the prime minister should practically act like the great Muslim warrior.”
Siraj expressed concern over reports about the shortage of food and medicines in the IOK. More than a month was passed in curfew and communication blockade coupled with worst human rights violation in held Kashmir but the government and internationally community were acting as silent spectators, he said.
