| Peace relies on resolution of Kashmir: Nazir |
| 2008-12-29 |
| ISLAMABAD: Lord Nazir Ahmed, a member of the UK House of Lords with Kashmiri origin, on Sunday said India mounted on maligning Pakistan without any proof after Mumbai attacks and that global peace relied largely on resolution of Kashmir and Palestine issues. He was speaking at a joint press conference with former AJK Prime Minister Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry. He said ‘corruption’ of the ruling faction of Muslim Conference had divided the AJK on beradri basis, which served interests of only a few. He termed the efforts for an in-house change in the AJK Legislative Assembly a democratic move, citing replacement of Tony Blair with Borden Brown through such efforts. He criticised statement of a Muslim Conference leader, who said his party had 200,000 trained ‘Muslim Conference Mujahideen’. He said such statements were irresponsible and against the stated position of Pakistan on Kashmir issue, adding it could raise questions that 700,000 Kashmiris living in the UK could get militancy training in AJK. On the recent Israeli air strikes inside Ghaza, he said the OIC and Arab League should hold emergency meetings to settle the matter failing which feelings of Muslim youth could be hurt. He said the world had double standards on Palestine issue. Barrister Sultan said the AJK government had failed to highlight Kashmir issue internationally effectively so there was a need for re-election. He accused the AJK government of giving 900 kanals of land to its cronies for as less a price as Rs 100 per kanal. He claimed that Sardar Attique had support of only 15 out of total 34 member of the Legislative Assembly so he had no moral justification to stay in the office. |
