Sardar Sagir Ahmed Khan, chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), has rejected President General Pervez MusharrafÂ’s four-point proposals for the resolution of the Kashmir dispute and has announced countrywide protest rallies against the expected visit of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Pakistan.
Addressing a press conference on Sunday, Khan said that Musharraf’s four-point suggestions were against the interest of Kashmiris. He accused the Pakistani government of changing its stance on the issue. The JKLF leader said that the Indian prime minister was expected to visit Pakistan in the coming months to sign a pact with Pakistan on the issue of Kashmir, adding that the Kashmiri people led by the JKLF would hold demonstrations if Singh does come to Pakistan for this purpose. Khan said that Pakistan and India should let the Kashmiris take a decision about their future – whether they want to join either country or become a free state. He said the Kashmiris had not given any mandate to the All Parties Hurriyat Conference to decide Kashmir’s fate. |
